How do you install kenwood CD player to a 1991 buick lesabre?

Answer 1

First you are going to want to remove the trim around the a/c controls (it just snaps out). After that remove the four #8 Phillips head sheet metal screws from behind the trim. Slide the radio trimpanel over to the driver's side of the car and remove it. Now you want to remove the four 7mm hex head screws that hold the radio in place, then pull the radio out of the cavity and disconnect the wires.

Now depending on the Kenwood that you are putting in, I'm going to guess that you are going to need an install kit to reduce the opening to a single DIN (this refers to the height of the new head unit, Kenwood made some DIN and a halfs and also some double DIN. If your Kenwood is the right size for the space the you need to remove the two mounting brackets from the sides of the stock radio and attatch them to the new unit, if the Kenwood is too small, buy the install kit and follow the instructions.

I HIGHLY reccommend getting a wiring hraness for your car (they run about 5 bucks on EBay or about 15 at Wal Mart) instead of trying to hard wire the harnesses together. If you pick up a wiring arness, just match up the colored wires (they are universally color coded on all aftermarket products. Now if you do want to hard wire it in, here is the wiring diagram (the long thin plastic tab on each of the three harnesses faces LEFT).
