Just an FYI - If you want to take out your stock radio/Cd player - it is not as simple as it seems. You are gonna have to basically take apart the whole dash board.
...but I did it, and a new head unit is in - back in love with my civic.

 

you dont have to take out your dash,..all you need to do is take out your centet console (not armest)

 

in 6th gen u do gotta take off 2 panels before u can unscrew the clamps holding the center console in. the panel underneath the steering wheel and the panel above the cupholders.

 

oh i forgot that part,..i didnt even think about that when he said dash,...i hope he didnt mean he took off his WHOLE dash

 

So I'm gonna install a new head unit in my sister's '97 EX coupe, what's the best way to get everything apart that needs to be removed? I could write a how two on this for del Sols, but Civics are another story...

Anyone help me?

 

depends how do u want to do ur system. if u want to do it right.. take off the dash... door panels... seats .. doorsils... basically everythign interior. u want to run ur wires underneath ur carpets and make it look good. my passenger seat has been out of my car for so long.. same with my storage bins... just no time lately.

 

Ok, all I'm doing is installing a head unit. She doesn't need anything more than the stock speakers. I got the lower dash panels off, now how do I go about removing the stock HU?

 

Do I need to remove the climate control to get the stock head unit out?

 

Ok, so I've got the stock head unit unscrewed and it can almost come out, but its plugs are holding it in, and I can't reach in to remove them...any help?

Any help, anyone?
