Radio?

[tmikewww]

What's the first step in re-moving a (the) radio? I' am wanting to put in something different with FM and haven't a clue where to start. There doesn't look like there's enough room behind the radio to "cuss out a cat" little own getting your hand and a screw driver back there!:confused:

Thanks,

I am not familiar with the Subaru. On a Suzuki or Daihatsu, you remove the ash tray and ash tray mounting bracket. There is a bracket that bolts to the back of the radio and to the truck. Remove it and the radio will slide out. That same bracket is the ground and works very well. Hope this helps some.

I swapped out the stock radio for a Kenwood deck in my Sambar van... it was fairly simple and fast. Popped the plastic around the deck with a slim blade screwdriver and I think there was 4 screws in total to remove. Two holding the deck to the mounting chasis and 2 holding the deck chassis to the van (holding the ground as well as pointed out) - and the deck slid right out... fast like 2 minutes, took me another 15 to figure the wiring harness out. I did blow a fuse two days later for some unknown reason, but found it (15amp i think, that also controlled the power windows)... hasn't blown since in 4 months.

Goozey,
It was your suggestion that worked. I had to make some modifications to get the radio to fit, but had it working( like you said ) in 15 minutes. The antenna worked as the ground. Happened on to "hot" wire the first "stab" with "hot light". Again,,,,
Thanks!
