Ok so i picked up a free 1000 watt amp from a buddy of mine and wanted to hook it up... Slight problem i dont have the DIN keys to unhook the stereo from the metal plate... Anyway around this without f*cking somethin up?

Stock radios on a FC are mounted with a ISO mount cage, not DIN holes.

Its got an aftermarket deck

take the whole dash out... theres a writup on it here somewhere that tells you step by step how to do it... and good part is... it only takes about 30-45 mins to take it out

ok so first

unscrew the shifter **** and set it aside

pop the shifter boot off, you can just pull carefully on the sides of the rubber and it just pops right off the center console

then take a flat head screw driver and CAREFULLY pry the center airvents out

take out the two bolts facing upward, you may need a flashlight to see them

take out the ashtray and set that aside

take out the two bolts that are there

slide the whole radio surround out about an inch, by now you have anoticed that it extends from the top of the dash to the shifter boot

your going to need to disconnect the cigarette lighter and the little light bulb for the cigarette lighter and the ash tray

if your having problems with the lighter just wiggle the connector carefully and it will just pull off

and for the light, it just twists clockwise about 1/4-1/2 a turn and then pops out

after that, put the gear shifter in 2nd or 4th or reverse to make room

and carefully pull the radio surround out and disconnect any wires connected to the stereo
