How do you remove radio from Hyundai Coupe?

Answer 1

Answer

1. Pop out cup holder in console. Remove the 2 screws that you can see inside. 2. Now you can pop off the entire console bezel. 3. Next remove glove box by popping out the 2 black clips on each side of the glove box. The glove box will now fold down out of the way. 4. Behind glove box remove heater wire control cable. 5. Now look under drivers side dash just above gas pedal. There are 2 more heating control cables that need to be unhooked. 6. Now the entire console bezel will pull forward. 7. Disconnect electrical cables from dash clock, hazard lights, defroster, AC and fan control. 8. The bezel will now completely come off. 9. Remove 4 screws holding radil

Note: The above answer is great and very thorough. I found that just going to step 2 was enough to remove my stereo, so check this first. Also, the bezel refers to the smooth part of the dashboard with the hazard light button, heater controls, air vents, clock, etc. A good way to pop it off is by gently inserting a flathead screw driver in a few places and turning.

Answer 2

If the car is like the 1997 model Hyundai Accent (USA, or 1999 Excel from Australia) try this:-

1/ Remove the panel under the steering wheel. There should be four bolts - the two at the top are covered with plastic caps. When you have removed the panel, take off the two climate control cables that run to the air controls on the dashboard. They should be secured with clips which need to come off, and the wire centre is wound around a small control knob which should have a push in clip so the wire can slip off.

2/ Make the glove box drop down by removing the two plastic clips at the back of the inside of the glove box. These clips are the glove-box buffer stops and should spring off and can be pulled through the clip-opening. Behind the glove-box is another wire to un-clip, but this one slips straight off the metal control actuator.

3/ Remove the ash-tray by pressing the spring loaded metal part down and take the two screws out at the back of the ash-tray. You should now be able to unclip the central dashboard. Use a screwdriver to lever it away gently, and watch for the small metal clips that drop out as you do so. As you pull it away the cables you unclipped will come away from their place and come out with the dash unit.

4/ After pulling the dash-board out a few inches you should be able to see the seating screws for the radio. Take all the screws out and pull the radio forward. By unclipping the cables at the top of the unit you will find you have enough play to pull the driver's side right forward and jigger the head unit out of the gap on one side of the unit.

That was the method I've just used on a 1997 model Hyundai Accent to take the radio out (and worked for me on a '99 Excel Sprint). I fixed the tape and stuck it back in and it all works. Heaven knows why they made it so difficult to get at but there-ya go. . Roger :o)

Answer 3

1. Take the whole console all around the stereo out first.

2. Make sure you pull your shifter to neutral so you can get it out easily.

3. Now take out the switch that dims your dash lights (near the wiper switch)

4. Take out the knobs to the fan and the other nob

5. Leave the four ways switch in.

6. There will be two screws that you will have to take out, but before you get to that you should be able to pull it out just a little (GENTLY!)

7. Under the steering column near the gas pedal there is a cable that goes to the fan. You will need to unplug it.

I know... I am doing this now to my car. Got past all that now I am installing a CD player.

And what a mess it is!!!
