I just bought my pioneer DEH-P4800 today. Tomorrow i'll be buying the installation hardware and installing it. I'm putting it in a '96 cavalier coupe. I know i'm going to have to remove a good portion of my dash, but I'm not sure just how difficult it's going to be. Do any of you have any pointers before I tackle the project?

Its easy, pop the side covers off the dash, unscrew the top vent, and pop it off, there'll be some 7mm screw things and u take em out. Then theres some (i think 5) in the glovebox holding the top down...so there is like...8 in total i believe holding the top...then there is 3 holding down the one that goes around the radio and u just pull it and it'll come out then there 2 screws holding the stereo, pull it out, plug in your harness adaptor and match wires, and ur done...pretty easy...i hope i didnt miss a step...im kinda tired...but ya usually EVERYTHING you need to know is in the stickys...i think theres something more in-depth on takin everything apart in the interior forum if you wanna go look over there

you want to bump, then they will bump and hit real hard and a lot good.

LOL

One thing is two of the seven milimeters in the glove box are gold and in the back. Make sure you don't pop the air bag when pull the top off or putting it back on.

Thanks to both of you. That was a big help. I got it done in a little over two hours . And I only had one spare screw when I finished.
