i have an 06 MC and i did it once with my friend that works at best buy installation and i remember that you have to take some screws out from the side panel and then there are some in the cup holder to help slide the rails out a little easier. the rest kinda flows from there from what i remember but i dont remember the exact steps sorry...hope that helped a little

Here is the DIY that I used when I took my stereo off, I hope it is the same way with yours, since mine is an 04 MCS.

Whisch of these two stereos do you have:

Old 'Boost' CD, made by Alpine :



New 'Boost' CD, made by VDO :



If yours is the VDO would you be intrested in sell it?

Head units are the same - HK consists of an amp and different speakers.
