I've got the basic stereo system and plan to upgrade. How do I get to the head unit? Looks like all you do is pry off the center trim piece. Is there any trick to it?

 

take out the screw that is in the bag hanger (near glovebox on pass. side) then just CAREFULLY pop off the bezel around stereo. 4 more screws and your out.

word of advice...do a search about putting in aftermarket HU if you have the factory amp (infinity) you have to do some wiring to get any sound out of it.

good luck & post some pics!

 

remove the screw near the hanger thing and I had a hidden screw on the left side, I had to remove the lower panel below the steering wheel before being able to pop off the trim around the radio. After that there are 4 screws holding the radio in. Are you keeping the stock radio? If not then you will be able to run your rca's and remote power for the amp from the aftermarket radio. If your using your stock radio, you will need an adapter to tap into a pair of speaker wires to add on rca preamp out. You will also need to find which wire is the keyon power for the radio, to tap into for your remote turn on for your sub amp. The main power for the amp should definitely come directly from the battery. Its not very hard, especially on a truck, to find a way through the firewall, theres usually at least one pre-existing grommet to go though thats empty or you can go through one thats alredy got some wires through it.

 

how about an 06 thunder road im trying to get to the radio with out scratshing the dash,,oh and i dont have a bag hanger so i dont know were its the hidden screws, its there like a diagram?
