Need Help
I am going to attempt to install a CD changer in my 98 max this weekend but am not sure how to get to the back of the head unit. I understand its just a matter of popping a couple of the plastic facings off and then unscrwwing the head unit. I would like to have a picture of the whole thing if anyone has one...this leads to my question. Does anyone have an electronic copy of the dash area of the max which describes how it comes apart (diagram from the repair manual would be nice). If anyone can help I would appreciate it greatly. I really dont want to start prying on things without knowing how it all comes together.
Thanks
Thanks

1) Next time, be a little bit more descriptive in your subject. "Need help installing CD changer in 95" is a lot more descriptive than just "Need help".
2) Try these sites:

3) When in doubt, search.

Just did mine a month ago
Install Dr. has a great section of removing the unit from the dash. Get on that website and print it out. I ran the control wire up around the back of the glove box, down the kick plate on the side of the passenger compartment, then just pop off the door kickplates both front and rear, pull the rug away and run the control wire under the rug right in the corner. Go all the way to the back seat, then come up just under the side of the back seat, pull the back of the back seat just enough to push the control wire back behind it. Go in your trunk and look around in the openings near the right side. There are some openings that you can stuff you hand in and feel around for that wire, when you get it, pull it through. Just stuff any excess behind the seat. Next mount the changer from the rear deck, plug it in and enjoy. Total time to install is about an hour.

Thanks for the links, they look very helpful. Oh, I usually include a very descriptive subject but I find less people read my posts when I get descriptive. I thought general would get people looking and hopefully helping. Anyway, thanks again
