WTB: Stock Radio
 
I FOUND ONE... THANKS!



Anyone have a stock head unit laying around?

I decided to paint the silver parts of my head unit red to match the exterior. After reading every DIY I could find on removing the head unit, I decided to tackle it this afternoon. Every DIY I could find basically said "remove the lower trim piece below the vent controls; drop the glove box out; remove the three vent control cables from their posts... and then grab hold of radio and pull as hard as you can". I had no problems up until that last step.

What every single DIY I could find FAILED to point out was the two 10mm screws waaaay up in there that have to be removed. (and that you probably won't be able to get them out with a screwdriver) After exerting as much force as I could on the HU, it still hadn't budged and I went after it with prying devices. Yay! It's starting to move! Let's put this screwdriver here while we rotate the scraper around the rim of the mount. Now pry some more. Yup. Screwed up the plastic around the HU. I want to get an aftermarket HU later on, but I need to fix my screwup for now.

Not much. I can get used HU's on eBay for $60-90 with the code. I only -really- need the plastic surround.

I wonder how much 'pull-a-part' wants for the radio?

just the plastic piece is 90 bucks. id say for the whole assembly, 350 is a fair price. but im not selling you mine :P

yeah i kinda destroyed the plastic trimming around the radio trying to pry it open, only 2 scuffles very small, if you're still interested lmk.

my stock unit is intact, if you still haven't found one I'm sure we can work something out.

Thanks to those who responded. I found one on eBay with the code and got it for $26.51 SHIPPED. WOOHOO!

Now to finish pulling mine out. I still can't get those damned screws out from deep inside the dash. The phillips head stripped out and I can't seem to get a socket to stay on. I'm getting ready to start drilling. GRRR...

Of course, as soon as I get the new one in place, I'm going to want to put in a double DIN touchscreen with Nav, etc. :rotfl:
