Re: AC panel removal

Nice work. I will be following your steps as soon as I get my wire harness and the antenna adapter from eb*y. By the way does your head unit have a bluetooth microphone running from a cable or is integrated. I got a Pionneer AVH-330 sitting in my trunk waiting for the harness. This one have a bluet...

Re: AC panel removal

The dummy panel has a blanking plate and a pocket? It looks like you're in business, no need for a dash kit. Just pop out the blanking plate, and the pocket if it's a 2-din, and the new stereo will bolt to the metal side plates. You just need the antenna adapter (the square grey plug is the antenna...

Re: AC panel removal

I just pulled mine, there are no claws to worry about just the four clips. Pull from the bottom, slowly but firmly. It will pop pretty easily, and a bit of wiggling and pulling will pop the top clips. I'll have pics in my install thread soon. I just went down and pulled everything out. No claws. Th...

It feels awkward the first time but you get used to it. I tried to get a good hold of it and pull it straight out so i didnt break the clips. Don't pull o...

AC panel removal

It seems that the AC panel should be removed in prior to install a new head unit. I found a service manual in this forum which tells me to "release tabs and claws at position 1 and 2. But... How to reach those tabs and claws? I can't feel them by stretching my fingers through the pocket door un...

Re: install head unit

Thanks! If I just wanted a single din unit, do I still have to buy the scosche outfit?
