    Hey all,

    Looking to remove this stereo so i can put a newer one in.

    Anybody have a idea how to take it out?

    I've read online that i may have to take the panel off underneath the steering wheel first then the center console.... And any videos i find are different models. This is a Civic 1.4L SE.

    Appreciate any help ya'll.

    All the best.

    MD

    This is the same dash as the rover 400/45

    IIRC you need to pop off the hazard and headed window switches, then the heater knobs. There are screws hidden behind these items. There might be some down behind the ashtray.

    Thanks Colm,

    Looked up how to remove a Rover 400 stereo and wallah... stick a hanger in either side and it slipped out! Bobs your uncle!

    I couldn't see any holes in the stereo so assumed it was in behind the centre console.

    Will you post a pic of the looms/plugs going into the Honda radio? Although at that price, it's probably as well to just get the adaptor.

    Should be easy to find a diagram for that, it's not specific to the civic
