RE: Installing a stereo
Dash comes apart like so: You must pop out the two air vents up top, a small flat-headed screwdriver can help you there. Then pop out the trim piece that surrounds the radio/ac cluster. There are four hex bolts holding in the radio. Undo all four and out comes the radio. If you are just swapping a cassette/AM/FM radio to the CD/AM/FM radio, the plugs should be the same just plug in and put dash back together. If it were up to me, I would invest in an aftermarket radio which would give you stronger, cleaner power and room to add amps/subs/etc in the future. If you know that you will not be doing that, then maybe the stock radio is good enough for you. Hope this helps, if it doesn't let me know.

RE: Installing a stereo
They ARE not the same. With a 1st gen Neon, you have to pull down the ash tray and depress the black piece in the center of it. The ash tray will then slide out. With that out of the way, you must start prying away at the plastic trim piece that surrounds the radio. Once this is out, undo the screws and, tada, out comes the radio. You will need a mounting kit and a wiring kit to make your life easy. These are readily available at a local car stereo store....
