Honda CRV 03

These are pretty easy to remove. Under the stereo are 2 screws that hold the plastic dash piece that goes around the stereo. Once removed, then the dash portion will just snap off. Then you will see the 4 screws that hold the stereo brackets in.

Honda CRV 98

 Does it’s trim piece just snap off? NO

 It doesn’t even just snap off after you remove silver 5/16” bolts – one from each side. You need to pry & push it out from the rear of the radio in order to not smash up the edge of the dash around the trim piece.

 The glove box and the compartment below the radio have to come out in order to see & get to the side silver screws.

 When it comes forward, you  can disconnect the AC controls (2 plugs) so it will all come out and you can remove the radio from this assembly by taking out the 2 bolts on each side that hold it in the bracket.

 

Standard Transmission 

The cloth that comes up on the shifter will unsnap off the shifter handle. Squeeze it at the bottom edge of the shifter handle and it will pull down and off the shifter handle. Then the piece that holds the shifter cloth will need to come up and off, start by removing the plastic push pins towards the front on each side and there are 4 screws that hold it down (2 on each side and 2 on front edge under drawer that pulls open. Looking under there, there is 4 more screws that hold the drawer in from under it. Also by the key, that unsnaps there and there a screw at the bottom of the panel – left side of the stereo.

 The glove box has to come down, it’s catches inside on edge will pop out and allow this. Then with that whole assembly loosened, it will come out of the way, you have to unplug the 2 connectors in there. Then the 2 silver bolts on sides of stereo. And push out the stereo from below and behind.
