Stereo

[stonyboys]

Hello, my stereo crapped out on my 93 corolla, and i was wondering if anyone can tell me how to remove it. I tried un screwing the two screws at the bottom of the plate that covers the fan controls/vents/stereo, but when i tried to remove the plate, it felt like something else was stopping it. I dont wanna wreck anything with my car. thanks to anyone who can help.

The two screws at the bottom are not relative to the bezel with the radio and AC controls, the radio bezel is held on solely with clips. To remove it, pull the knobs off the sliders, pry out the AC switch, and then pry the bezel off. It will come out enough for you to unplug the emergency flasher, rear window defroster, and clock. The you can then remove it completely and access the radio.

like, can it be connected into the speakers e.t.c? i think the size is okay, im just afraid about the connections.

It will work, but will most likely have to be wired in like most non-factory radios. You can find wiring diagrams online or maybe an adapter.

you can purchase a wiring harness from crutchfield for about $10 with a master data sheet. Usually they come free when you purchase a head unit from them

so, am i gonna need anything extra? or do i just remove the old unit and re plug this new one?

too much confusion

if those two harnesses came with your new hu, and the single harness that they connect to is the corolla model harness like you get at best buy, then your fine.

...that is for about a month until your sick of the weak sound in the speakers or you blow them out, whichever is first

[stonyboys]

lol why would they blow out? as long as i dont put that much volume on... right?

Check your fuses 1st. I have the same style radio, I pulled it from my 96. Check the link in my sig.

radio's fine. speakers suck

[elliott_scott]

give our stock speakers a break they are 10+ years old but they are only rated like15w aftermarket decks 50w per channel

[kevmac]

WOW

in the 4 years that I've lurked here, I never have seen a 7 gen speaker fan until now.

You won't here me bash too many parts on these rides except:

drums
speakers
studs
weak ass collision zone
acceleration

you really cannot be seriously giving pride to those cardboard shitboxes?

[elliott_scott]

i was def joking they do the job if they have to but only then they crackeled before finally blowing and i had my ipod set to reduce bass

[stonyboys]

AHEM. ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!

does my radio that i posted look compatible?
