How do you uninstall a 2004 Dodge Dakota radio?

Answer 1

Here is a rough guide.

1) Make sure the parking brake is on. Put car in 1st gear.

2) Tilt the steering wheel all the way down.

3) Underneath the steering wheel there is a panel. This panel is held in by 3 TORX screws on the bottom, and "press in" clips on the top. Remove the bottom screws, then gently pry the piece off. It should pull out towards the driver seat with no problems.

4) Remove the two screws above the steering wheel right inside of the gauge cluster area.

5) The whole piece runs from the left side of the steering wheel to the right side of the stereo -- it is all one piece. When you pull it off, it has no screws, just clips. These will just pop out easily enough. You'll have to wiggle it a lot, disconnect 4 connecters (headlights, 4wd, and two AC connectors) and then the whole piece comes out.

Reinstall is basically the same way. The stereo itself comes out with 4 screws and two connectors.
