You have a Honda civic 1997 ex 2 door and it came with a after market CD player you want to take that one out and put a better one in how would you go about doing that?

take the old one out noting if it has a wiring harness from the auto wiring to mate to the radio harness ie male/female connectors, if so cut the harness from the old radio and splice to the new radio soldering or electrical tape connections following the color coded diagram that comes with the new radio. If the harness is not already there buy a new one for make/model of auto and install. Plug in harnesses to each other and install new radio after connecting the antennae.

How do you replace a 2000 impala amfm with a 2002 amfm casscd player and by pass security lock?

If you are simply installing a different "aftermarket" radio then all you really have to do is pull the old radio out. Purchase a "wiring harness" specifically for you vehicle. Plug that into the wiring for the radio (from your vehicle) and plug the other end into the back of the radio. You can do it by splicing and connecting all the wires but that is not worth it all things considered.
