A How-To Guide For Removing 05-07 Cobalt Radios

[bryson87]

be advised I did not originally write this:

Check clips, this releases the entire right side of lower trim panel from dash.

Gently pry upper trim panel from dash releasing two clips.

Pull trim panel slightly from dash. Allow trim panel to hang in place from connectors and wires.

Gently pry top left edge of car stereo trim panel from dash releasing clip.

Gently pry top right edge of car stereo trim panel from dash releasing clip.

Work your way down right edge of panel releasing clips, then down left edge of panel releasing clips.

Pull top edge of trim panel down to allow entire panel to lay onto center console.

Remove two screws right side of car stereo.

Remove two screws left side of car stereo.

Pull car stereo from dash.

Remove antenna and release trigger on connector to disconnect.



The End
