How do i remove the center console around the stereo so that I can remove my existing head unit..... it looks like it just pops off but i want to be safe and ask first....... also if someone could tell me how to remove the speaker grills i would very much appreciate it... Thanks!!

 

it all in here CLICK

 

thank you.... how about the speaker grills tho??

 

you don't remove the grills you remove the door by taking out the screws at the bottom, in the handle that you pull to close the door there is a round tab in the handle under the tab there is a screw and remove the plastic behind the handle to open up the door. then lift up on the door piece the first time will be a little hard don't worry it will come off.

 

F***, i was hoping that wasnt the case but oh well....gotta do what you gotta do... also was it hard for anyone who took off the center console??? I don't want to do damage....

F*** this crap i'm just gonna pay for this stuff to be installed.....its a pain in my A** and i'd rather not break stuff... way harder than i thought... plus i want my pioneer 8500 to be installed right

 

thats the h/u im getting in the mail soon. im gona install it myself. when u get it installed, i wanna know how much they charged.

 

u got it........i'm ****ed, i wanna do it myself but it just seems to easy to break the console while unlatching all those clips..... i got about 3/4's of the way through and decided to call it quits before i broke something

 

im getting my h/u on tuesday. do you have a 2k2 non-bose? tell me exactly what you did to remove it if you dont mind? because im def doing it myself and i need all the help i can get. and also, are the crossovers behind the stock h/u?

 

bah. if you are gust careful with the plastic near where you are prying, and apply reverse pressure to where it is bending with your other hand, you shouldnt break anything.

Anyway, good luck o you both.

 

It is a pain to pry out the vent part of the 4th Gens. Also the ash tray is a pain because you have to pull it out of the clips which always fall off and drop somewhere. Also be careful when prying, use a cloth to wrap the screwdriver or whatever you're using to prevent scratching.

 

^ thats exactly what i'm talking about the vent part... it felt like i was prying way to hard and i just didnt want anything to break.... why couldnt it be a 2 minute procedure like my prelude dammit!

 

heh its not 2 mins cuz maximas arent made out of a rice-base glue :P

 

I've done mine about 10-15 times now, it's not that hard. For the top vent, pop one side, then the other...then pull evenly

 

don't be scurred...i know it looks, sounds, & feels like you're breakin' sh*t but just be gentle and keep pullin'; the real b*tch is going to be removing the screws that hold the stock HU...brace yourself for that.
