Stupid question about getting a new deck
Wednesday, June 08, 2011 10:16 AM
I have an aftermarket kenwood deck right now which was professionally installed. I was just wondering if I get a new deck would we have to take the dash off and everything like when they replaced the stock one? Or can we plug in the new one? lol, I want to get a deck which has a flip out screen.
Thanks

You will obviously need to remove the radio/hvac bezel to get to the screws that hold the head unit in. You don't need to remove the whole dash.


On the other hand....you have other fingers.

You have to take the top dash part off then look behind the stereo bezel and you will see a screw that holds the stereo bezel to the rest of the dash once that is unscrewed you can pull it off and access the head unit and hvac screws which hold them in. video 1 of how to remove stereo /video 2 hope this helps

id stick to a kenwood deck also if your not to good at wiring. from there you can use the current kenwood wiring harness on the new. if your lucky enough that kenwood uses the same harness style on all there decks.

i sold my kenwood deck out of my 03 cav with a friend with an integra who happened to have an older kenwood deck. basiclly just removed hers and plugged mine in.

Haha yeah I was kinda hoping to just slide out my kenwood deck with the tools I got and just slide the new deck in but then i remembered that there was a wire running down that id have to unplug. wishful thinking I guess.

I have the 3200 and same thing. Pioneer Double Din units are really nice esp. for the price on Amazon, you should check there for prices also since it may be better than what your friend could do, or if you want to spend less than the 5 series.
