- 1). Pull off the radio bezel around the stereo using your hands. Unscrew the factory stereo from the dashboard using the Phillips-head screwdriver and pull it out of the dash. Unplug the wiring to the stereo and put the stereo to the side.
- 2). Install the metal cage that comes with the aftermarket stereo into the vehicle-specific dash kit. Lock it in place using the flathead screwdriver. Bolt it into the dashboard using the Phillips-head screwdriver and factory hardware. Strip 1/8 to 1/4-inch of shielding from the end of the wires on the vehicle-specific wiring harness and the harness that comes with the aftermarket stereo.
- 3). Connect the matching colors on the two harnesses together using a blue butt connector and the wire crimpers. Plug one end of the harness into the back of the stereo, then plug the other end into the wiring harness in the dashboard. Slide the stereo into the dashboard. Push the radio bezel back onto the dashboard.
