DIY - Installing Double DIn After Market Stereo 2003 - 2008 Corolla

This is a DIY for a 03 - 08 Corolla on how to put a double din radio in your car .

Before I took the car apart I did the wiring and it is very simple - Color for Color instructions back of package .

I used a plastic panel remover tool and removed the plastic that is around the shifter . No need to disconnect the lighter plug you can set it aside .

You will see two screws that hold the A/C panel on the bottom - Be careful you do not drop them cause they can be hard to find - Keep a magnet handy - Then you need to pull out the middle knob and you will see a screw behind there - Once you removed all 3 screws then you can with your plastic panel remover tool pull the center piece out . That too you do not have to disconnect any plugs just put on the side you will have plenty of room . 

Now here be very very careful cause you have 4 screws and they are deep and you can drop these screws and loose them - If you have a magnet screw set use them again keep a magnet handy and when you unscrew these screws do not attempt to take them out with the tool just let them sit there and with a magnet you slide it in there and pull out each screw - I recommend you do these one at a time . When you put them back use fingers to at least stick the tip of the screw in and let rest there . Then you can remove and disconnect the stereo . 

Then you remove the vent panel off the radio by gently un clipping it 

Yes you will need a stereo installation kit because of the face of the stereo to make it look nice .

Plug the stereo in and please test before you put it all back together - Make sure you plug in the antenna . 

Then when you are done you can reverse the process and have fun listening to music .

DIY - Radio Installation 2000 Infiniti I30

This is for a 2000 Infiniti I30 with a Bose system 

Remove the vent first with a flat head screw driver - Then you can remove the bottom plate where the shift selector is - Then you will see 2 screws on top and the other two screws under the ashtray - Then carefully unplug the stereo 

Now with the radio installation kit for single or double din - You will need to make sure that you remove the A/C switch and the ashtray - The radio screws WILL NOT come out - You have to put the new stereo and the A/C switch and ashtray on the new bracket - Once you put it all together you will see how easy it is to do 

Make sure you get the correct wire kit - On my vehicle I didn't need anything special other then the RCA male jack ends - You must connect the antenna and you must put the two blue wires to a hot wire to turn the amp on that the Bose system has in the trunk - This stereo is a DVD player that plays videos to I had to ground the wire to keep the TV in while driving - Again I did notice if the antenna is NOT connected during testing the stereo will not come on - The blue wire has to be connected to the power line as well for the rear speakers to work - Once you are done then you can reinstall the stereo
