Hi, there. I'm new here, but this looks like a great forum. I'm trying to install a new CD player in my RX-7 and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to remove the old AM/FM tape deck standard from the console. I found a few screws and removed them but it didn't seem to get me anywhere. Thanks, I appreciate it.

My name's Colin, by the way.

Remove the trim panel around the Logicon/climate control, including the vents. It pops up. Be careful if the plastic has seen better days or the trim around the logicon will crack.

There are two #2 phillups screws at the top of the dash there for the radio trim bezel/dash panel.

Remove the plastic panel around the shifter by poping it up. The shift **** unscrews on the 86-88 models if you have a manual trans.

Remove the ash tray and the two screws behind it.

Lift the entire trim panel out 2 or 3 inches and unplug the light for the cig lighter, and the plug on the cig lighter. You can now remove the whole radio bezel/dash trim panel.

4 screws in the dash around the ISO Can holding the radio in. Remove those. The radio will be loose now, pull it out unplugging the radio antenna and assorted plugs.

Save the ISO Can even if you throw the radio away. If you ever want to use a ISO load deck or dual DIN deck you will need the Can.

 

Thanks so much! I'll be trying that tomorrow!
