Hey guys, crossposting from the CM talk forum for visibility.

I found this thread, and it seems like the only resource on the internet for replacing the r60's oem stereo. I'm going for a single-din with 7" flipout screen for simplicity.

Has anyone had any luck tearing apart the dash to get to the stereo? I've got a few questions, and I'll try to post a guide when I finally succeed.

Do you have to remove the cupholders/change tray?

How do you get the side pillars off?

How much of the dash do I need to pull off to get to the stereo?

Do I need to remove the speedometer to get to the stereo?

I'm using this page as reference.

I'm not gonna take this thing to best buy and have them spray and pray, so any help would be appreciated. Like I said, if anyone has advice, I'll be happy to make a How to: when it's done.

Thanks!

 

I know this is old but I wanted to ask how it went. Did you successfully remove the dash and install your stereo?
