i know this should be in the audio forum, but nobodys gonna see it there. i just got a phatty head unit (mp3s!). it was easy on my sentra, but how do i get to the stock unit? what do i pull, unscrew, and pop out on a 2k max? i did a search and couldnt find anything.

 

I have posted this answer SEVERAL times. Use the search.

 

If you're a search-engine hater like myself, let me know and I can scan Crutchfield's instructions and email them to you. Basically, you pull the A\C vent above the radio straight out (use some force), this will expose the top two bolts that hold the stereo\A/C control units. Remove the coin tray and the screw under it. Then use a screwdriver to pry up the plastic around the shifter and pull that out (dangles by a cord). That will reveal the two bottom bolts for the console. The plugs that you need to disconnect to remove the factory stereo are tough to remove, prepare for finger pain. Careful when doing all of this, it's easy to scratch up your dash and console area because there's a lot of hard sharp edges. Also remember to disconnect the negative terminal on your battery before doing any of this.

Sorry for stepping on your toes Punkdork, but I hate searching for 2+2 when someone could just tell me 4.
