[QUOTE="mail4youtoo, post: 8246102, member: 660052"] I brought the factory stereo inside to change the climate controls over the the new Nissan dash and to install the new Kenwood [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/22eT1gel.jpg[/IMG] I needed to use the original metal brackets on each side of the factory stereo on the new install so I had to take them off. There were 5 Torx20 screws on each side to remove [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/MxTambAl.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/mSlTbSql.jpg[/IMG] I also needed to remove the 2 Torx20 screws at the top of the plate [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/hAFRKjal.jpg[/IMG] Once all the screws were out the metal brackets came right off. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/PxDTQO9l.jpg[/IMG] After the brackets were out, I removed the climate control module which just involved opening up a few tabs. Placing the new pieces together was a breeze. The only problem I had was that I could only use 3 of the bracket screws to install the Kenwood. The 4th hole would not line up on either side. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Qxk9tySl.jpg[/IMG] Everything still seemed to come out okay. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ogpnEdtl.jpg[/IMG] Once I had all that secure I wanted to make a change. I wanted to put the microphone from the Kenwood in the faceplate. All that involved was a pilot hole and a 1/2 inch spade bit.
