New Kia - radio install tips?
Hi, all! I have a new Kia Spectra with a factory AM/FM/CD. I want to replace
it with a much better unit, especially one with MP3. I know what I want, but it's been too long since I did replacements. Does anyone know how to get the center console of the dashboard apart on a 2004/2005 Kia Spectra so I can get the radio switched? I can't find any screws anywhere. Thanks ;o) |

If no one here answers you, you might have better luck with a Kia enthusiast

Way cool! Perfect info - exactly what I needed. Their description of the amount of extra room in there makes it sound like I can drop an alarm system into there while I have it open. Thanks so much ;o) |

Kia changed the wiring harness - it now uses the same connectors as Hyundai. Plus the mounting is recessed, so the factory radio/CD is long in the front end, and angled about 10 degrees. I get to test my ingenuity on this puppy g! |
