Stereo doesnt fit

I had a kenwood DPX-U5130BT stereo installed into my 2006 corolla. The plastic dash surround is not clipping in because the stereo is siiting out too far. Is there any way I can sink the stereo in deeper so the plastic will fit over the top or is the hole for the stereo too shallow?

SOURCE: 2004 toyota corolla stereo diagram of how to

Just pull the vents that surround the stereo, no screws there, then yo remove the front panel, starting with the knob that turns the blower on, there you'll find a hidden screw, take off the ashtray and a couple of screws on the top if I correctly remember...

from here you can continue... just remember to use a piece of paper and a pencil to draw quicly a diagram from where are you taking the screws or you'll screw... less than you took off :D

SOURCE: My 1990 toyota corolla tail lights and dash lights

which fuse did you check. verify the wiring to the radio than comes from the light switch to the radio. if all this worked before , then it has to be work that you have done. the only link from the light switch to the radio is for inst panel dimming. first disconnect that wire and ck fuse for tail lights. make sure there is power on both sides of the fuse, use a test light.

    How do i take out my radio from my toyota corrola

    The Toyota Corolla has been around long enough that many owners find themselves needing to replace the factory stereo. Installing a new stereo in the Toyota Corolla gives improved sound and updated features. Swapping out the stereo in the Toyota Corolla takes basic tools and less than an hour. This article covers models from 1990 to 2000.

    Open the hood and remove the negative battery cable from the terminal. Apply the parking brake and place the car in "D."

      > Remove the trim from around the stereo by prying with your fingers at one corner. Some early models have two screws at the top of the trim piece to remove first. Allow the trim to hang on the drivers side of the dash if it's connected to the cigarette lighter.
      > Locate and remove the four screws holding the stereo in place. Pull the radio out of the dash and disconnect the wires from the back of the head unit.
      To install
      > Connect the wiring harness adaptor to the original harness and let it hang from the dash. Slide the new stereo into the Toyota radio mounting kit, which is a thin metal cover and secure it per the manufacturer's instructions. Most adaptors have screws to hold the stereo in place, however some have clips, which engage automatically.
      >Plug the wiring harness adaptor and antenna wire into the back of the new head unit and push the entire assembly into the dash. Reconnect the negative battery cable and turn the radio on.
      > Ensure all of the stereo controls and speakers are working. Secure the radio in the dash with the original four screws and replace the trim.

    Where is the fuse for the radio in the 2006 Toyota Corolla? Not finding it by pedal or glove box only fuse box i find is under the hood?

    hi if the fuse is not located in the fuse box under the hood try the aux fuse in the fuse box if this is ok then the problem could be either with the stereo itself or some stereo's have an inline fuse but to get to it you need to pull the stereo out and the fuse will either be in the back of the stereo or it will be inline on the live wire to the stereo you will be able to see it as soon as you pull the stereo out.

    let me know if you need further assistance ok

    plz rate this solution as i have a whole page of unrated posts, thanks

    I am trying to install an aftermarket cd/radio into a 2001 Toyota Corolla GS which has a standard radio console

    I would get a stereo installation kit for your car from Auto Zone or a local car audio store. It will have the surround for the new stereo to fit where the old one was and a harness that you can wire the new stereo to and the harness will have a plug to match the stock radio plug.

    How do I remove the factory installed radio from 2006 Honda Pilot LX

    I'm doing this from memory since it's been about four months since I actually did this.
    This is for a 2005 LX. EX procedure may be slightly different.

    Disconnect the negative battery cable and make sure it can't come back into contact with the negative battery terminal.

    1) Remove the plastic tab (where a push button probably is for EX model) to the upper right of the radio.
    2) Carefully pry off the plastic piece which surrounds the stereo. I used a thin screwdriver and sock, and slightly scraped things up. In hindsight I should have used a specialized pry tool for removing such things. I think there were four or five places where this plastic panel is clipped into place.
    3) After you get the plastic panel pried off, slowly remove it. You will need to disconnect the three wire harnesses connected to the buttons / indicators on the plastic panel.
    4) The plastic panel should now be out of the way. Remove the four mounting screws holding the radio in place.
    5) Slowly slide the radio towards you. Disconnect the wire harness and the antenna.
    6) You should be ready to install a new stereo.

    As a side note, when pulling the wire harnesses apart be sure to pull from the plastic connectors and not on the wires. If you pull on the wires, they may come loose from the harnesses.

    If you are hooking up an aftermarket stereo, be sure to use a wire harness to connect from the aftermarket stereo to the Pilot's harness (otherwise you'll end up having to cut off the Pilot's wire harness which isn't ideal). I'd also recommend soldering and heat shrink tubing the aftermarket stereo's wiring to the aftermarket stereo's wire harness. It takes a while longer than the crimp or electrical tape method but ensures a robust connection and no electrical shorts when done correctly.

    My aftermarket stereo has a power antenna connection. This needed to be connected (the Pilot's antenna is part of the rear window and thus isn't powered) because there is a signal booster which requires power (otherwise you won't be able to tune into any AM stations and will get very poor FM reception).

    How to hook up a kdc-105 kenwood in a sunfire

    There are 3 things you need to purchase for this install. 1) The factory spec install kit. 2) The factory spec additional wiring harness. 3) Antenna adapter.

    Find the easied way to remove the plastic cowling around the radio and ac controls. Usually you can locate screws helping to retain the plastic dash parts. Be careful not to break the plastic dash by taking your time and looking over and over the part ofr connection hardware. Once you have located and removed all/if any screws, carefully pry out on the piece you are removing. There are often metal clips on the back of the piece that also help to retain the dash. Once that is removed, unbolt/unclip the factory stereo and slowly pull it out of the dash. Remove the factory harness from the backside of the factory stereo. DO NOT CUT THE HARNESS!! The wiring harness you have purchased is designed to plug and play into the factory harness. All you hae to do is color match the Kenwoods harness with the one you purchased. When wiring the two harnesses together use connectors **** a **** connectors, crimp connectors so forth and so on. If there is wiring you will not be using, take some electrical tape and tape the bare wire. We don't want a short. Once you are sure and have doubled checked that all the wiring is secure and matched, reverse the order of disassembly.

    The plastic install kit should replace the factory radio size difference. Just remember to take the metal sleeve tha came with the kenwood and install it into the plastic install kit via the instructions provided. Slide the Aftermarket stereo into the sleeve you just installed. Then you are ready to make all the needed connections. Before you reassemble everything make sure to do a test run with your stereo. If all is well reassemble and jam on.
