Hey everyone! So I'm obviously new on here and recently picked up a 96 LS coupe a few weeks ago and I'm going to swap out the factory tape deck with a Sony head unit. This is my third Honda so I'm pretty familiar with how things work and are set up. I've been searching the web to see if there is any easier way of removing the stock tape deck without having to remove the centre arm rest and shifter. I've even did a search on here and can't seem to find anything. Can anyone offer any advice or methods that they have used?

Thanks in advance.

 

You don't need to remove any of that, the only thing you need to remove is the ash tray and the 2 screws that hold that in, and the radio and pocket will pop out out with a little bit of prying, as it's just clipped in on the side's.

 

well for my aftermarket install i didnt have to take anything out at all except for the headunit, but most likely like spike said if u just remove ur ash tray you should be fine, i guess i just got lucky

 

Removing the ashtray will make it a lot easier to get some leverage in to pry the box out of it's place - many things in these cars are just removed by prying (carefully).

 

i just reached behind the deck down under the dash and unscrewed two screws and mine came out

 

Thanks guys. I'll try it that way and let you know how it goes.
