How do i remove a stereo in a Toyota Celica?

Answer 1

REMOVE FUSE COVER ASHTRAY AND LITER AND THEN REMOVE TWO SCREWS ONE THE TOP OF THE PANEL HOUSEING AND TWO SCREWS ON THE UNDERNEATH INSIDE IF THE ASH TRAY AND IF INSPECTED FROM UNDERNEATH PRESS BACK THE TABS AND STEREO IS OUT

to add to previous answer after removing the top fuse panel and removing screws you have to remove the cup holder and there should be a couple of extra screws. the cup holder is a pain to remove but with a little persistence it can be done.

Pop off fuse cover. Remove two outer screws: these are the top two of four screws holding the top of the wrapping middle front fascia on, to which the radio assembly is attached. Next remove the little drawer, cigarrette lighter, and ashtray. Next, some models have a cupholder and others have simply a fascia where the cupholder *should* be. The fascia can be removed by pulling straight outwards with some force (careful not to damage your interior surfaces). Then remove the two screws on either side of the cupholder/fascia. After that is removed you finally have access to the two lower screws holding the bottom of the wrapping middle front fascia on (these are just behind and above the screws for the cupholder/fascia). Once these are loose and the two plastic clips nearby are squished inwards the whole wrap-around fascia + radio assembly can be removed together. Careful on the edges as the channels for the vents come with this part & these vehicles are now old enough that the foam/glue surrounding these vents can easily tear/break off.

Found this site http://tarago.blogspot.com/ that contains lots of pictures and a step by step guide. Really helpful for me.

Answer 2

The trim that surrounds the stereo is held in place by snap-in* clips at the left and right bottom. You should be able to pop the trim off them by inserting a thin screwdriver on the right side ... in the middle is fine, and then again on the left side. The top of the trim also has a ridge that holds it in place. With the two clips disengaged, push the top of the molding towards the front of the car and slip it down and out, taking care not to fubar the cigarette lighter wiring. With the trim off, there are 3 screws and one plastic dongle that hold the stereo in place. Unscrew the 3 screws, only the top left one is not in plain view. The plastic dongle is next to the bottom right screw. I found it a pain to slide the stereo bracket off this stupid plastic thing, your mileage may vary.

• i don't know what if that's the correct name.
• Please keep in mind you don't have to take the plastic trim that covers the gauges......it looks like you should, but you don't.

Answer 3

First thing is to remove the surround from the auto/stick shift, then unscrew the ac/heat control panel, then unscrew the top bzel from that panel to get that off and you will see the mounting screws for the radio

Answer 4

There are two screws that hold in the plastic cover on the cover on the top underside. remove these two screws and gently pry the plastic cover away. There are four screws that hold the stereo in place that will be accessible after you remove the cover. reassemble in reverse order.

Answer 5

To remove the stereo in a Toyota Celica you have to sit in the drivers seat, and start panelling off your centre console, then pull off the knobs for air-con and climate control. Gently pull of everything starting from bottom and work your way up, after you remove the stereo put in the new one and put everything back on in reverse order.

Answer 6

Mine is a 1990 and it has a handle and you simply pull it straight out. I don't know about all of them.

Answer 7

The stereo can be removed from a Hyundai Excel by first removing the stereo front cover. Remove the retaining screws. Pull the stereo out and remove the wiring.
