How do you remove the clock from a 1998 Honda CR-V?
The whole assembly with the vents, clock and hazard button needs to come out first.
1. Using a wide blade such as a putty knife pry the assembly up a little at the bottom so it clears the dash. 2. Pull the bottom out as it clears, and the top of the assembly will follow. 3. Once you have the assembly out, remove the plugs from the clock and hazard switch. 4. Remove the two Phillips screws that hold the clock into the assembly.
If your clock isn't lighting, try disassembling the housing by prying back on the four clips holding it together and examine the circuit board inside looking for bad solder connections. All of the components on the board are surface mounted. I found a bad solder joint on what appears to be a large resistor partially located beneath the display board. I believe it was labeled "590". I pushed on it with a small screwdriver and saw that the leg of that resistor that is not under the display board had a bad solder joint. I re-soldered that leg and plugged the clock into the harness without placing it back inside the housing and it was lighted again. Placed the board back inside the housing and re-attached it to the vent assembly with the Phillips screws, plugged the hazard and clock plugs back and snapped the whole assembly back into the dash. I now have a working clock.
Hope this helps
From Paul:
This really does work. There are surface-mounted resistors labelled "300" that need to have their solder joints touched up - I did that to my clock because it stopped working. This is a great solution to the problem and it really works - Thank you!
From Dave:
Thanks. I used this and it worked. Owners beware. Honda wants almost 250.00 for a new clock. The 1998 series clocks are flawed with a few bad soldering joints as mentioned. Carefully inspect. Problem is with summer / winter months, eventually crack some of these joints. I only had to re-solder one joint and it worked again. LED's rarely fail over time.
From icesurfer:
Thanks. I used this on the clock for my 1999 CRV to save significant $$s over a replacement. I could not determine which resistor was causing the problem so I resoldered the ends of all the large (black) resistors that were accessible.
A note to help others remove the vent/clock/warning light switch assembly: There are 4 clips at the bottom of the assembly that are fit into an undersized rectangular hole. These clips do not lock in, but they provide a significant 'friction fit' The top of the assembly has 4 plastic pieces that act as a hinge. There are 2 clips under each vent, there are no clips in the center under the clock and warning light switch. You don't have to press up on the bottom clips to release them (unlike many electrical connectors) you just use the putty knife to get the bottom rotating towards you.
From Bob677: I love the Internet. This totally worked for me as well. The solder joint that was bad on my was on the resistor that was half under the display. Of course the joint that was bad was the one actually under the display not the one that is easy to get to. I had to de-solder the front two legs of the display and bend the display up out of the way to get to the bad joint. Once the bad joint was resoldered and the display resoldered to the board it was back to working order! Ours broke on a cold winter day just as mentioned above. Thanks a bunch!
From Wonderboy70: I love the internet also! I never would have figured this out. Now I see how the guy on eBay can garentee a repiar on them. It sounds like it a very comon problem!
I found bad solder joints also on both the 300 ohm resistor partially located beneath the display board, and I also found the 500+/- ohms resistor 1/2 under the display closer to the center. A few minutes with my iron and electrical solder and it was fixed. From what I read most feel in colder climates the temperature change pulls on the solder joints and they break. I see one post a resistor had fallen right off and they replaced it with one from radio shack. Mine was still there just solder was broke on one end only of two of the three resistors. So if you are handy with a soldering iron and have an extra 30 min. or so you should be able to fix it. Good Luck! Mine works!
Yep i can confirm too....i resoldered both sides of 3 resistors and all works fine now :).
The one under the led panel was a bit tight tho.

Make sure you read the steps before attempting this.
Step one is to remove "The whole assembly with the vents, clock and hazard button needs to come out first." (read above)
Then disassemble the clock being careful not to drop the buttons on the floor. Then check the solder, I found a flat resistor numbered 510 partially under the LED on the left side had the solder corroded and had to remove the entire resistor and clean the connections before re-soldering it into place.
AND IT WORKED!!!
Thanks all you saved me $250 for the part and who knows how much on labor!!!!
Another winner! Clock started working on and off for 6 months. Had no idea it would be bad solder joints on the resistors. I found all the large resistors to have bad solder joints:
-Desoldered the two pins holding the screen down and bent it up.
-Soldered the resistors again. One came off completely during this process.
-Bent the display back down, Tested. Working.
How do you reset radio in a Daewoo Nubira?
The radio code feature of Daewoo models (sold in the US from 1998 - 2001 as Leganza, Nubira, and Lanos) is meant to be an anti-theft security feature, but unfortunately it can also present a problem to legimate owners when their car batteries have died or been replaced. When the radio is removed from the power source (or the power source is interrupted), the radio will reset itself (prevent any use) and flash "CODE" until the proper code is entered.
Each radio has a specific four-digit code, which was originally provided on a plastic card within the owner's manual kit. New owners were encouraged to remove the card and keep in a safe place outside the car (eg home). Since these cards may be lost over time (or perhaps not passed along when the car was sold used), that leaves today's owner in a tough spot.
To obtain your code... You can try calling Daewoo Motor America (the company still operates a HQ in CA for service/parts/warranty purposes); their website is still www.daewoous.com. You can also try calling your original Daewoo dealer, who hopefully still has some technical materials and personnel to help you identify your unique code. Some General Motors dealers may be able to help, as GM acquired Daewoo and still sells Daweoo-made cars in the US under their Pontiac and Chevy brands. But all methods above may be difficult for an individual detailed problem such as obtaining your unique radio code.
If all else fails, TRY THE CODES BELOW, which were the most common codes used in models during the 1998-2001 model years.

I am posting these because - although the code feature was a valuable anti-theft feature - there have been no models sold in the US since late 2001, and the radios are now undoubtly worthless to theives. At this point, the radio code feature can only be a major nusance to an owner of a still-running used Daewoo. Good luck and enjoy your car!
There is no way to solve the problem. Because of the high power of the CB transmitter and the low power of the satellite signals, the CB signal clips the GPS receiver, and it can even damage your GPS. The CB and the GPS unit work on entirely different frequencies, to be sure, but the fact that a several watt transmitter of any kind is right on top of a GPS unit can hammer the GPS. There is no way to "limit" the radiated power of the CB (if you still want it to work) so that it won't affect the GPS.
Is the receiving antenna radiate radio wave during reception?
A receiving antenna does "re-radiate" some of the power it receives, but not all.
Some of the power it receives proceeds into the receiver ... which is the only way
we detect the signal being received by the antenna.

How do you enter the radio code for a 1997 Acura CL?
All Acura's have Radio codes. You will need the code if the power has been disconnected from your battery. It is a five digit code that can normally be found either in your drivers manual or on a business card size card that reads Acura Radio Code. If you enter the radio code incorrect three times it will lock you out of the radio and you will have to disconnect the battery to start the process again. Radio Codes are specific to your VIN number, a dealer CAN NOT "create" one for you. If the originating dealer put the code in the American Honda Motor Co system then your local dealer will be able to assist you. Call them with your VIN Number and have proof of ownership ready, some dealers will ask you for it. If your radio code is not in the American Honda system then the ONLY way to get the code is to remove the radio as it is on a sticker on the back of the radio head. This information also applies to Navigation units and all models, years and makes of Acura.a
Yes, check the one labled "IOD" in the panel on the end of the dash.
How do you uninstall a 2004 Dodge Dakota radio?
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.
How do you remove the stock radio on a 2002 Mazda Protege?
The Mazda radio on a 2002 protege comes out just like the Ford radios.
First, remove the two plastic hole covers on the left and right sides of the radio. They are about half and inch wide; just jiggle and pry them out. Then you will see the holes where you insert what are called "radio removal keys." On either side there are two small holes separated by an elongated hole. Insert two of the radio removal keys, one in each set of the small holes.
You will need two of the U shaped tools, one for either side of the radio. Alternatively, you can make U-shaped tools out of lengths of still coat hanger. Cut them about four inches long, then bend them into a "U" shape with the points as far apart as the holes in the radio. Insert them until you hear a click, then push the left one to the left and the right one to the right. This will depress the clips that hold the radio in. While you're holding the clips out, pull on them and the radio should slide right out.
Check out this wiki answers page as well "How to remove and replace the radio from Ford Explorer?" Also a picture of the tools: http://www.xm-radio-satellite.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=272 (price is too high though)
How do you change the clock time on a 1997 Honda Passport radio?

Where is the fuse for the car lighter CD Radio on a 2001 Suzuki Esteem Wagon?
On the 1999 vehicle, it is located in the fusebox under the steering wheel, far left side. 4" by 2.5 " black plastic cover needs to be taken off. Look for the yellow 20 AMP fuse labeled ACC. It also is the fuse for the radio.
How do you wire aux input radio?
Your radio has to have an AUX in or be able to connect to a CD changer
Where could the fuse be to check the radio of a 2003 dodge grand carvan?
at the fuse box. BUT if it is and after market radio. the installer often hooks a wire to a power sourse and has an inline fuse on the positive lead wire. So you will need to trace the positive lead wire back to the source and see if it has a inline fuse.
Where is the horn on a 2005 Honda Civic?
The horn on a 2005 Honda Civic is located at the front of the engine compartment near the headlights. This position allows it to be projected out of the vehicle and heard better.
How do you remove the factory radio in a 2003 Ford Crown Victoria?
there should be two holes, vertically, on each side of the radio, you can make a tool out of a coat hanger to stick into each side, when you have placed your homemade radio tool into the holes, simultaneously, you should be able to pull the factory radio out

How do you remove the radio in a 1999 Hyundai Excel?
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.
http://www.carsales.com.au/Tig/UI/PagePopup.aspx?R=7899492&PhotoID=6868586&h_mid=4415219&f_mid=&c_mid=4414491&pid=140973&tabID=304744&tsrc=allcarhome
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
What is the difference between the radio used in a car and in an aircraft?
There are probably several, but here are a few which come to mind: * They operate on different voltages and frequencies of electrical current, * Automotive radios generally are recievers only, while aircraft radios are generally "transcievers," which means they can transmit signals as well as receive, * They usually operate on different "bands" of the radio frequency spectrum, * Almost, if not all, aircraft radios are capable of being uses with headsets [earpnones] due to ambient noise in the cockpit, * Aircraft radio equipent is almost always much more expensive than automotive.
