Stereo Installation/Removal Procedure

[Spooky]

Does anyone have a link for a Stereo Installation/Removal Procedure for second gen Expy's? I have a Pioneer AVH-4300DVD coming and have no idea how to get the stock unit out.

PM me your address...i may have step-by-step from crutchfield when i ordered my HU...basically...there are 2 philip screw right above the speedometer...before you disconnect the battery...you'll need to put the gear selector in "D" so its out the way then turn the truck off...pull out the dash but not too hard because you still have to disconnect all the connectors behind it...the light switch, the digital thermostat if equipped, and other various connectors that light things up...

do you expect it in before saturday? if not...i'm going to move my gps antenna from on top of my dash to right underneath the dash like i've seen on youtube...so i'm doing that saturday...OR...if i find the pages...pretty sure i can...i'll scan them and send to you...

Thanks, that'll help a lot. I won't be doing it before Saturday and I found a youtube vid outlining the procedure, so don't go out of your way. But it will help.

The video sucks, but it gives you the idea http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8XdKVh91Bw&feature=related

Did you need a dash kit to fill in the area around the 4200?

i said phillips...they are 7mm screws...if he had put the gear selector in "D" r other gear 1/2/3...he wouldnt have taken 2:44 to get them out...no need to use a panel remover...just pull...he finally does the gear...once you get it off...you 'll see the HU...help in place only by 4 screws...

found it so i'll send it tomorrow...did you send your email address yet?

Pretty much follow the vid. I put it in 1 and put the steering wheel all the way down.

Really, the most annoying part is the damn dinging from having the door open and the key in.

I could do this if I didn't need the cargo space in the Expy.
