How do you remove the stock radio from a 1996 Chevy s10 pickup?

Answer 1

== == == == ALTHOUGH THE RADIO IS ELECTRONICALLY REGISTERED TO THE SPECIFIC VEHICLE IT IS INSTALLED IN, AND THEORETICALLY CANNOT BE USED IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE, EVEN ANOTHER MAGNUM, WITHOUT SOME FACTORY OR DEALER RE-PROGRAMMING, REMOVING IT SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM.

INSTALLING A NEW RADIO MAY OR MAY NOT BE A DIFFICULT TASK.

THE ONLY WAY I KNOW THIS IS THAT MY SUPPOSEDLY UNSTEALABLE '05 R/T WAS RECENTLY STOLEN, AND WAS RECOVERED TODAY, SANS RADIO. IT STILL STARTS AND APPARENTLY RUNS, ALTHOUGH I AM HAVING IT TOWED TO THE DEALER (THEY STOLE THE PLATE, TOO).

FYI, THEY STOLE THE CAR BY BURGLARIZING MY HOME AND TAKING THE KEY, PROBABLY THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE FOR CARS WITH TRANSPONDER KEYS.

THEY APPARENTLY REMOVED OR UNSCREWED A FRONT BEZEL, WHEREUPON THE RADIO/HEATER PANEL SWINGS OUT FROM THE BOTTOM. THEY THEN REMOVED THE RADIO FROM THE ASSEMBLY -- THE HVAC CONTROLS ARE STILL THERE. I HAD THE Boston ACOUSTIC W/SIRIUS SYSTEM. THE SPEAKERS APPEAR TO BE INTACT.

Answer 2

you must first pop the bezel off. there will be 2 screws over the gauges that will need to be removed also. there are 4 screws on the outside corners of the radio and 4 screws on the temperature controls. you will need to take all of these out and the radio will fall out. remove the CD holder from the sides and back and you are done.

Answer 3

What I would do is go to an auto parts store and buy a book on the car, I have an 05 Stratus so I would have to go buy an 05 Stratus book OR ask the salesman if there is a tool to buy to take the radio out, if you see the tool you will figure out how it works if you are good at figuring things out OR ask a mechanic,good luck.......JL

Answer 4

Thye make these little u shaped tools that you can buy at Walmart or auto store. you slide them in the two holes on each side and pull out. Very simple.
