Wondering if the crackling sound in my speakers are from loose wiring. I'll check with this video to see if i just need to plug everything out then back in
So what system did you replace it with? I’ve got a 2017 Kia Sorento with the factory stereo that sounds lousy. I’d love to be able to upgrade with a decent audio system.
Tried both fuses. Neither worked. Disconnected and reconnected battery and that didn’t work. I don’t know wth the issue is. All I know is that it only happens when cheap ass American vehicles, and I’ll never purchase another one again. Never
Pop the cover off that small square hole just above the shifter. There is a mechanism in there to press with a long handled screwdriver to allow the shifter to move. A tow truck driver did this when I had to get towed onto a flatbed.
Thankyou for great video just found this was going to ask best way to get a cable through firewall behind glove box for an amp but realised video 9yrs old but speaker wire colours helped on a 2011 Note UK spec
Excellent tutorial! I just finished removing my radio and it took only 9 minutes. 1. Do not use anything other than plastic to remove the cover. 2. If you can, use a magnetized screwdriver or a magnetized sleeve on your screwdriver to remove the 4 screws. 3. Each of the wire harnesses are easy to remove and each is of a different type/size to make reinstallation much easier! Thanks for your guidance, Dave
Thanks - do you happen to have the exact dimensions or model number of the amp at the bottom of the arm rest? I'm curious if I could fit a good one in there.
1. DISCONNECT BATTERY. Remove 2 Philips screws upper instrument pannel, remove 1 Philips screw next to power outlet, remove 2, 7mm bolts from below steering column, pull down on column and remove Philips screws. Remove center dash piece with your hands, Lower steering column to make easier. Unplug all mulls connectors on left and right side. Remove 3 7mm bolts from stereo. Unplug stereo plugs. Figured this would be easier for you to remember!
My front passenger door handle is partially broken off, but the handle still works. My driver's door handle quit working, so I HAD TO replace it. The TOUGHEST part of the job was disconnecting and reconnecting the connector to the master switch control panel. I was wondering what the connectors were like on the front passenger door. I found this video that shows a good view of that. I dreaded seeing TWO connectors on that control panel! However, they DO appear easier to disconnect and reconnect. I'm going to remove the armrest and control switch panel on that front passenger door while that handle is still working and just CHECK those connectors to see if they're going to be easier to deal with. Then I'll know if it's going to be a quick fix or another fight to get them disconnected and reconnected. At least, this time, I'll know what I'm up against. I did not expect to have such difficulty disconnecting the connector on the driver's door, so it took a lot longer than I thought it would. Good thing I did it on a day where I had the time to deal with that.
If you need to buy fuses, Kia uses Micro LP (low profile) fuses in that box. Took me days to find that info, and 3 orders from Amazon to get the right ones.
Probably my least favorite radio to work on, and we do like 5/6 of them a month. This is the worst of the Cadillac Que screens to pull but once you do it a few times you can get it out in about 10 minutes
