How do you take out a radio from a 2003 Nissan Micra?

Answer 1

As a previous techy for Nissan i have done this many times.

Ensure you have a radio code beforehand though, once you unplug the set, you will need to input a new one when you put it back in.

The following set of instructions is for the latest shape micra, the "bug".

1. Open both front doors

2. Remove the door seals

3. Remove the dash top by pulling upwards

4. Remove the bracket from under the dash top bolding the radio in (3x10mm bolts). make sure you don't drop these as they are quite awkward.

You don't take the radio out as a single unit, you take the radio, trip computer and vents out as one unit.

5. Remove the plasstic caps inside the little compartment at the top, and remove the two screws.

6. Remove the two screws UNDEREATH the section of trim you are going to remove, just above the heater controls.

7. Pull the radio along with everything else out as one.

8. Remove all connectors ensuring you remember where they go.

9. Put everything you have removed on a carpeted table to stop scratches, and gently remove the vents by pressing the clips back that hold them in place.

10. You can now access 4 screws that hold the radio into the frame, remove them as well as loosening as many screws as you can see that hold the together, i remember i used to loosen a certain 4.

11. With the frame loosened it is now possibe to remove the radio from the frame, otherwise its too tight.

Hope that helps,.

you have to remove the ash tray first - small screw at top, pull that out, then remove the two screws under the radio, then you can pull the radio out.
