Do It Yourself: Stereo Removal/Installation.

[Nas92]

depends single dins need a dash kit or you have to sorta modify the oem lower tray to fit to your radio. I just used electrical tape to secure mine hahahaha, but on double din radios you dont need a kit because it just fills up the whole space you just make sure the cage is mounted securly and bam pop it in and youre done.

well i have an old kenwood from a friend...and its just its own din...plus when my buddy told me wat could happen with out one i told him well then ima put electrical tape then so it won't happen and i wanna go that path..kuzz it will save me money so all i needed to hear is that that will work

I needed a code when I removed my battery so I needed to remove the radio to get the serial number to give to dealership to get the code back. It was a crappy day and no radio for 3 days.

hah well i decided not to mess with this and took it in and whats halerious is that the guy never even had to touch the battery he just did the steps to remove the stock radio and put in the new one.....wish i would have known this it would have saved me $$$ especiallly on top of that he didn't have to strip any wires i think?? the kit he had just had to be splice connected?? and then the dask kit just poped in after he put the din sleeve in and poked the holes u have to poke in...the radio with the din snap in and he just rebolted everything back

[Chino10460]

You only need the code if you have a stock deck and remove the battery.The code goes into the stock deck not the ecu. If your installing an aftermarket radio your installing a new deck so no code is needed.
Sorry to hear that you had to pay for install nas92
