DIY Dash Removal/HU install w/pics - Page 2

Word of caution for you guys removing your stereos.

Whatever you do DON'T lose your radio pin code. If you ever want to reinstall the factory radio you'll need it. It will be a lot less hassle if you get the code off your card and write it down on masking tape and place it on the radio in storage, or if you sell it, the new owner will need it.

I pulled the dash to install the H&K DP1. Running the wires for the control and screen etc.... But you are right. If all you are doing is a HU then you don't have to pull the dash. FYI, you can fit both single and DD radio's. Schosche makes a GTO radio removal tool, single din Dash Kit, Metra makes a DD dash kit. Both and American international have harnesses and antenna adapters for this vehicle.

When I pulled mine, it didn't ask for a code.....I thought it would and was prepared with my card in hand. I was so disappointed....lol

Sorry to hear it.

IF you put the stereo back in, have the card in hand, you'll be tickled to death then when it tells you you'll need the code to get it to work.
