hey
I have an 86 rex, and I'm having trouble taking out the twin decks (radio/tapedeck) out. It sounds simple but i dont know how? if anyone can help that would be great
thanks

 

Have you taken off the surround? It has to come off before you can get to the screws that hold onto the radio brackets...

What exactly are you having problem with?

 

what are the surrounds...are they the black long pieces that are on the sides of the radio? If not how do u take the surounds off?

 

to take the "surrounds" off you just have to pop them off, be careful, they break easily

first you have to take off the plastic covering around the sides of the shifter, which also pops off, then take out the ash tray
after all that then you can take out the surrounds, afterwards you will have to unscrew it from the brackets and disconnect all the wiring from your radio so it will come out

this is from my experience with my S4...have fun, it's a bit of a pain

 

ah... you seem to have forgotten a couple of screws there and have told the guy how to bust his dash into a million peices...

Behind the vents in the stereo surround and behind the ash tray, there are two screws each, which must be removed before removeing the radio surround/bezel to access the 4 bolts holding the stock radio in.

 

oops, you're right
hopefully he would've noticed them anyway and just unscrewed them

 

okay kool, so its just clips im guessing, and just slwly pop them out. alright well im gonna go try it...and no i hopefully won't bust my panels in a million peices
thanks

 

k i got all that out..now the only problem is the cig lighter is stuck in the surround and i cant get it out, and can anyone post which wires are which. i have a wiring harness and theres this one brass connection, no idea where that one goes...anyone with tips or help
thanks alot
