On a Chevy Astro Van how do you remove the radio?

Answer 1

On a 1997 model.

1. Park on a level surface as you'll need to put the van into the 1st in order to remove the plastic panel.

2. Pull off the dashboard panel that covers the center dash (radio, heater, etc.). It should extend all the way to the left side of the dash, going over the steering wheel. You'll need to unhook all the wires connected to the panel. (Rear wiper control, rear hatch release, headlights, foglights)

3. The radio should be exposed. There are 2 metal tabs on either side of the radio that you will need to unhook in order to remove the radio. You should be able to get these to release with a flat headed screwdriver.

4. Slide the radio out until you can reach the wires connected to the back of it. Pull the clips to release the wires and the radio should slide all the way out.

If you are planning on putting a non-stock radio in it, you will need to buy a wiring harness (available at wal-mart) and a radio adapter (also available at wal-mart). You will also need a faceplate. I would recommend buying that from a specialty store as wal-marts faceplate kits dont typically fit well.

Hope this helped! If it did please recommend me.
