OMG!!!!!!!!
I wanted a new stereo in my 99 excel and i found plenty of tutorials on how to do it, but none of them explained it very well, i just took to it with a screwdriver and eventually figured it out, over about 6hrs!!!!!!

What u need to do is take the black plastic thing off the front of the radio.

the plastic face that stops u from getting to the screws.

To do that you have to remove the ashtray, remove the 2 screws in the ashtray compartment! Now you need to undo the heater control clips 2 under the drivers side then 1 behind the glovebox. Then slide center control unit out. You then have to undo the stereo retaining screws and slide the stereo out, you will have to take the cables off the clock and hazzard lights too. Replace in reverse order.

As far as actually wiring in the stereo, match up wires, look up the manual for your new stereo and use the "map" engraved in the metal ontop of the head unit, and match them up to the ones in ur manual, u can buy adapters so u dont have to cut cables, such as this one

it just saves you from having to cut wires at the back of your head unit, i wish i had one b4 i started lol :)

Anyway if you have any other questions just let me know, i will try and post sum picks when i get the chance to pull my car apart again :P
