I've Finally Found the How-to-guide to install a stereo head unit!

i've been searching high and low, near and far, above and beyond and have not had any success finding how to remove/install a stereo head unit in a 98 maxima on this website ( maxima.org ) or talked to anyone who could really give me the details of this somewhat involved process. however, my search has come to an end. i recently searched google, hopelessly one last time, to try and find the instructions or a how-to manual on how to install a stereo head unit for my 98 maxima...and eureka! i've found it!! if anyone is looking for a manual like this just goto: installdr.com, then click on "install it yourself", then click on the make of your car and then the model..and by jove YOU've GOT YoURSELF A HOW-TO STEP-By-STEP INSTRUCTION BOOK WITH MANUAL IN DETAIL!! I'm so excited about this cuz i've been looking for about a month with no resulting success. I bet someone out there reading this probably is saying to themselves " I already knew that website?" WELL GOOD FOR YOU!

Couldnt've just asked here? http://forums.maxima.org/forumdisplay.php?f=21

...wow. First post in the FAQ in the above forum: http://forums.maxima.org/showpost.ph...19&postcount=1

Thanks to whoever posted this one earlier:
http://www.installdr.com/

it's got tons of basic info in it. I didn't get into the detailed portions of it, but it answers about 99% of the BASIC car audio questions. (i.e. where, why, how should I mount this?).

It also includes some wiring diagrams for our cars, and looks to have info about the bose systems "under construction"... maybe we'll see something there soon.
Your long and arduous search could easily have been avoided with just looking through the FAQs.

I've finally found out how to remove the stereo head unit. I removed everything except for the wire plugged into the back of the stereo head unit. I have an OEM 1998 Maxima with a standard non-bose cd player and there are these wires in the back that i can't get out. They are kind of similar to the wires plugged into the back of the hazard button cuz i couldn't get that out either. it's like it has no release button or anything to pull it out. It's simply stuck. but i'm not about to goto a shop to get it done. I'm positive i can do this. I've done it once before, so I know I can do it again. But could someone pleease advise me as to how to remove these "super glued" wires from the back of my audio head unit, please?

Theres a release. Try a little harder or press a flat bed screw driver down on the release.
