it is very easy.
first you have to remove the center console. since you have LXI i would assume you have casset holder.
after that, you have to remove the buzzer (warning control unit). it is easy, two 10mm bolts on each side.
after that look up all the way on the back. you should see your stock deck and two philips screws holding it. take them out and pull the deck out.

what he said i just did mine a couple days ago your gona want a stubby phillips to get the screws or a 8mm socket i think it could be smaller i found it easyer to use the socket over the phillips bit

:welcome: to the site


if you have the Lx-i it takes 6 screws to take it off...just make sure you roll your seats all the way back to get to the screws

its just the screws on the console to take it off, its not that hard, if you got a manual, you will ha ve to pull the gear knob off or you will rip the boot or w/e its called

Ok, i found the two screws you guys were talking about.

There's a big grey box infront (under them) which prevents me having acsess, going to have to remove it. Just out of curiosity, what is it?



the vin is JHMCA5645KC816770, whatever you guys could figure out would be great.

that's the buzzer (warning control box.) if you remove it and disconnect it make sure you put it back. It controls your fender turnsignals and many other things.
