How do I remove my radio from a Mitsubishi Montero Sport XLS 2000?

Answer 1

remove the nobs and bolts behind them, take off the face plate, then you should see the little screws holding the stario inplace. The #s are on the back .

if your gentle you can pull the cup holder slightly out and insert a small flat head screw driver inside to lift up the bottom plate of the cup holder assembly and the number is written on the front top of the radio.

I just removed the cup holder and used a small mirror (like the one a dentist uses, available at hobby stores) and a flash light to read them. You should see 2 sets, 1 begins with "MR" that's the part # and the other is the serial #. Just remember that after you write them down to reverse them.

Answer 2

There is a special tool, basically two peices of stiff wire shaped like a U. On the Radio you will find 4 holes, two on the right and two on the left, space about an inch and a half apart one on top of the other. Place the prongs of the tools into each pair of holes and push firmly until there is a click. Then pull the tools apart (towards the doors) and pull the radio toward you. From there disconnect the cables on the back.

Answer 3

I did not have to remove the radio to get the serial #. An oval scussion the size of a platter covers the clock, radio and more. Two screws under the top edge secure it. Carefully pry the bottom edge upward to remove it. The serial # is easy to see on the top of the radio. GM

Answer 4

Here's how I did it on my 2001 Sport. The part of the dash that goes around the radio can be pryed with a flat head screw driver. The best spot to do this is on the passenger side where the two other pieces of dash come together. Once you have the plastic ring off, the radio can be removed by taking out the 4 Phillips head screws on each side of the radio.
