Help with stock radio removal
Hello I need help and have searched google and this forum for DIY on removing the stock radio and also maybe a wire diagram. I am planning to install a small amp for my upgraded door speakers but want to still use the stock radio. I need the wire diagram for the speaker wires so I can use the hi pass line input. Thank you

Did you figure it out yet? You have to remove the air vent piece above the radio. There will be 2 8mm bolts behind there. Then remove the small panel in front of the console that has the USB port etc. way up under there is another 8mm going up into the radio. The trim piece around the gauges needs to be removed also. Then the only thing holding the radio is clips. Just pull and it will release. Took me several hours and multiple pieces removed to figure it out. I'd like to know the wires also. I figure I'll just match colors from the wires at the speakers. Would like to know what wire I can use for the remote turn on.

Sup Superfly thanks for the info man this helps a lot and will save me time. I actually got a quote for installing a line out adapter to a EQ and that to a 4 channel amp and a kicker hideaway sub amp combo. It is kinda pricey for the installation alone but I don't know if I will have time to do the installation myself. If I do I can find the accessory wire for you. Also I have changed out all the door speakers and still have the stock speakers in the box. Do you want me to take some pics of the wire color?

Will be tackling my I.C.E. this weekend and Superfly's HU removal steps are a big help. No more guessing.

for those who removed the radio, is it possible to access the antenna connection through the glovebox without removing the radio itself?
i pulled the glove box and was poking around, and it seemed that i may have enough room to access behind the radio, i just was unable to find he antenna during my quick inspection.

This is great! Thanks Rottboy, this helps a lot. No need for the pics Payluder but thanks.
Rodney, I took the glove out to be able to see the bottom bolt and also to check other things out back there. I seriously doubt you can access the wires from there, I could barely see them up there from that spot.
Are you adding an FM modulator or something and that's why you're trying to access the antenna? I believe you'll need the Metra 40-HD31 adapter. I'll know later after mine comes in the mail. I bought HD30 because it says 05+ Hondas but it's wrong. After looking up images to match the actual antenna I have it looks like HD31 is a dead on match.

keep me in the loop when you get yours sorted. i drive a lot in areas with no cell signal, so listening to the normal radio is starting to get old...

You can use an FM modulator but they usually don't work that great. Did you see the posts at the end of this thread where we were talking about Bluetooth transmitters?

Unfortunately, its not an area that I will use for now. Maybe you can pull out those components and establish the color of the wire from the source. Then look at the fuse box ID sheet and determine which is the fuse for those items. You should be able to do your project from there (hopefully). Good luck!

i plan on testing everything out this sunday, i will let you know how i make out. thanks again!
