    How difficult is it to change out the stereo head unit in a 1990 Honda
    Accord?

    Instructions on-line, somewhere?

    Thanks,

    If I remember, you start by pulling out the ash tray and removing some
    screws that hold the radio in place. The unit should then slip out.
    I may be thinking of the '89 Accord though. bob

  6. Would this also apply to removing the radio out of a 1987 Accord?

    i did a '93 accord a couple months ago (speakers & all) in a couple
    hours. have another body help so you don't have to run around the car to
    remove screws from the other side.
    nothing i saw showed how to take the console off if it's a MANUAL
    tranny, so getting that out of the way took, by far, the longest time.
    i'm really glad i did it, car sounds as good as the home stereo now.
    crutchfield's has very good instructions - www.crutchfield.com - and
    their help desk is actually helpful.
