I needed to open the headunit so I can plug in the ipod interface.
I was trying to put up the picture of my stock head unit but I don't

First off, why? Secondly, you can't host pictures from your computer hard drive.

you mean you need to "take it out" not open it. I think someone here has done it already. give it a couple of days till they show up.

Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think that model of radio has CD changer controls on it.

I was wondering how you remove the head unit in an 05 corolla XRS it has the 6 disc changer built in.. I am hardwiring my sirius satellite radio in it thanks

[caddymac]

jlinn05XRS, do you have an adapter to use for input? If not, you will have to get one before attempting to hard wire your Sirius in.

To remove the radio, first remove the trim around the shifter. Then pull the middle HVAC knob out and remove the screw located underneath. Next the trim containing the clock and the remaining HVAC knobs needs to be pulled from the dash. Then grab the vents by the radio and pulll the entire trim piece out. At least that's the way I remember doing it.

I found it was a nice help to take the glove box out to help mount my Aux2Car box.

I'm having the hardest time with removing the panels to get behind my headunit. I was able to remove the shifter trim with no problem and I removed the AC knob and unscrewed that with ease. But I cannot take off the other two panels necessary to remove the stereo (the vents, and the middle dash piece). Is there any trick to it? Do I need to use some tools? It just feels like I'm going to break things. I struggled with it for about an hour after giving up. The part I'm having the most trouble with is the middle dash panel piece (the one with the AC knobs and clock etc). Any help? BTW I have a 2006 with 6 Disc In-Dash that I'm trying to remove so I can install and Aux-input adapter on to it. I followed some tutorial that someone made on the internet, but its not as easy as it makes it seem. The panels are really tough to work with. Anyway, I'm just rambling now, any help would do. thank you.

After I pulled the trim from the shifter I let it hang just in front of the drivers seat. I then turned the ignition key to the on position and shifted into low to get more room for the HVAC/clock panel. To get this panel off I started by pulling from the both bottom corners at the same time. It was kinda tight the first time. I had to pull it again to get the CD I left in the stock HU and it was much easier the second time around.

Alright, after some work, I got off the HVAC panel. Now, I cant get the vents off, also, I cant find the right tool to remove the four screws/nuts that attatch the headunit to the car. I used a 10mm wrench attatched to a hand crank and could remove the two that are closest to me, but the two that are far back are hard to reach, how'd u guys do it?
