Dash trim removal: 5 minutes. This video will show you how toremove the dash trim piece on the Mazda ...
The video shows a guy using a metal pry tool. NEVER USE A METAL TOOL TO REMOVE DASH PANELS! Purchase a plastic dash panel removal kit to prevnt damage and scratches to the dash finish.
Before removing the stereo or any other electrical component, it is vital that you first disconnect the grounding cable from the Neon's battery. The grounding cable connects the battery to the frame or chassis of the vehicle.
Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen the grounding cable's camp from the negative battery lead. Make sure to rest the clamp away from the negative lead post until the removal is complete.
Remove the Dash Trim Panel
The dash trim panel that surrounds the Neon stereo needs to be removed to access the stereo. The panel contains, but is not connected to, the climate control knobs on the dashboard.
Grab the panel at the bottom corners and pry it from the dash. You will likely be able to remove the panel without the assistance of a trim pry tool, but if you are having difficulty removing the panel by hand, wrap a thin cloth around a trim panel removal tool or flat head screwdriver to remove the panel.
Once the lower edge of the panel is relieved from the panel, you can work your hands (or flat pry tool) around the perimeter to separate the remaining edges.
Since the panel is not connected to the climate control knobs, you will not need to disconnect the wiring to the knobs. The panel, once free, can be set aside until you replace the stereo.
Remove the Stereo
The Neon stereo deck is held into the stereo mounting bracket by 10 millimeter bolts on either side of the radio. Remove the bolts and store them in the ashtray for safe-keeping.
Pull the stereo from the dock. The unit will easily slide from the mounting bracket with an even pull from the left and right of the stereo. Pull the stereo far enough to reach the wiring on the rear of the radio.
The wiring to the stereo includes the antenna, the power supply and the speaker wires. There may also be patch cables connected if an amplifier is connected to your stereo system. Pull the cables from the stereo. The antenna and power supply are single cables. The speaker wires (and patch cables) will be grouped by wire binders. The plastic wire binders should be pulled as a unit. Do not pull the wires themselves.
Once the wiring has been disconnected from the stereo, the unit will be completely free from the Neon.
If you plan to operate the vehicle before installing a new stereo or re-installing the factory deck; reconnect the grounding cable to the negative battery lead. Otherwise, leave the cable away from the negative lead until all of your work is completed.
I grounded my Jensen to a screw inside the dash. I had to put a switch on it though - Jensen requires an on-off-on sequence with the parking brake, which applies and removes the ground. I duplicate this by throwing the switch. Check the manual or online references to see if you have to do this. If you do, you'll need a switch. If not, you can just ground the wire.
order from jensen or go to a local audio store, ie sound creations,
or a store that installs car stereos, I have had pretty good luck with circut city, best buy is a bit cheaper, but then again you get what you pay for.
1998 new, well, okay, u will need to have an philips screw driver and remove part of ur AC Buttons panel from undearneath there should be some screws remove them all, from top and bottom, and the see if the panel is loose enough to remove it, and then u ll be able to see the screws that hold the Deck. and i believe what u need to do now, (remove the wiring and install the adapter and ur new CD Player)
the radios come with 2 removal tools. you remove the trim plate then slade the tools in one per side...
what kind of car? i may be able to tell you a different way of removing it..
