uhhh.....ok....and how do i get to that? ive read somewhere that you have to stick something through a hole on the sides and itll slide right out..but ive done everything short of ripping the radio face in half (literally by the way) to try and get it out....ive stuck hangers in the side, through the top....i even took out the top coin tray to try and get to it....argh....a 280$ radio is sitting here waiting to be put in and i cant even do it...this sucks

ok, this is driving me nuts....i cant figure it out....so im gonna up the ante....i will mail someone 5$ who can give me detailed instructions on how to remove it, and thats no joke...lol and you cant say remove the lower panel (the one with the lighter and ashtray, because the screws for that are stripped and i cant get em out....)

seriously dude, i believe there is a nut on the back side. easiest way is going to be from the passenger side, look up under the dash behind the radio.

yeah...itll be cash, but thats not the right answer...i couldnt feel any bolts on the back of it... (mabye i shouldnt be trying this at 12:30 at night, lol) i felt a bunch of screws that might be holding it on but i dont know...ill just drink some more and check it out in the morning, unless anyone else can tell me exactly what to do, lol

besides...its not gonna sound all THAT great...its a 280$ headunit with the 2 stock speakers....lol

[phatboycrxhf]

Yeah, the 'pullers' that you stick in on the side might be specific to the head unit. Mine has both, bolts and pullers.

some of the old decks with 2 big knobs have to popped off and then under each knob is screws and taking it all apart removes the face for it to push through, thats what was in mine when i got it, kinda scary lol

On the back side of the radio there is a 8mm bolt......you need to get a light and look..... You should be able to you a SKEW 90 degree adaptor for you drill, and use a 6 inch extension with a 8mm 1/4 inch drive socket.......some of the hondas had two 8mm on the back side. The radio will then slide out from the front........im if you have any questions.....
