Recently a new member asked how to remove the stereo, so here is a quick attempt of a how to! Mine is a 2012 UK manual gear 89 dci. I am sure there will be slight differences if they have an auto.

I am not responsible for any damage or injuries you may incur! This work is done at your own risk. BE VERY CAREFULL THE PRESSED METAL HAS VERY SHARP EDGES! I have had a few cuts!

1. Remove gear lever surround by pulling upwards towards roof lining. Once unclipped slide back.

2. remove screws at base of housing.

3. trickiest bit remove outside air vent know by pushing up.

Little knob unclips and looks like this......

4. Finger tips at base pull the surround towards you, you can use a thin stubby screwdriver or a thin allen key to get behind if you have fat fingers! Improvise!

5. Remove the four screws on either side of the stereo, slide it out (towards you) and its done!

Hope this helps.

Oh...this is too sweet! I'd try today...but I'm heading out of town in the morning...and I know me...I'd be rushing and break something. This will be the first thing I do when I get back. I actually just purchased the **** Nissan service manual for $210.00. So I might be inclined to copy and paste a few pages.

Hi, this was a big help as I'm trying to install a 2400w amp, 15" sub and up rated pioneer door speakers, after following your instructions I was met by next problem, I have a factory wiring loom that makes no sense to me at all, just plugs and wires all wrapped up, I wanted to use the stock radio/cd to power fronts then have sub running on a spare rear output until I can update the sterio itself, any help much appreciated, also any ideas how to fit my pioneers in the door card and how to remove oem speakers also would be a big help. Thanks in advance

I used a cheap harness from some other model Nissan. I forget exactly what.

A guide on popping the door panels would be great.
