great walk through, thanks!
nice detailed clear step by step trim removal steps. I am now quite
confident to do my subaru trim removal to replace the radio/cd player.
Trim can be difficult and easily broken so seeing it done is great!
I have a 2007 forester S. I’m looking to pull this apart to install an amp
and run the wires from the head unit battery. I hope this is about the same
for a ’07 but we will see.
Where would you suggest to install external mic and how to route the mic’s
wire. I got Pioneer FH-X700BT and will be installing it in 2003 Forester
for my wife. Thanks
Good luck!
Very clear step by step explanation on the right procedure to take.
awesome. thank you so much. just about to embark on a switch-out for the
first time. this is really helpful.
Outstanding! Go Fozzies.
Get some panel tools that paper is a waste of time. The tools are plastic
so no messing up nice trim. You can get them at harbor freight for like $6.
Great post.
Thanks!
Great job. I’ll be trying this tomorrow. This video makes it look easy.
Thanks so much for this! Just got an 04 Fozzy and its in desperate need of
a need head unit. Had no idea how many/where the clips and screws were. Now
I do! Thanks again!
Do you know how to fix the 6 disc changer when the CD won’t come out? Thank
you
This is great! My husband’s CD player ate four of my CDs, and I am going to
get them out. He’s too cheap to get a new stereo, so he’ll just listen to
the radio.
@leo. I put the mic on the pillar trim at the left of the windshield.
thanks for posting, would probably do this one day to repaint my console 🙂
most appreciated. Thanks allot can finally get some sound in my car.
@Jackie Sedlock
No, I just swapped the stock radio out. Srry.
Answer to ? About heater connector….. Once all of the clips are free
there is enough slack to get to the plugs. Reach in behind and squeeze the
connector lock. Then wiggle it off.
Thank you for being so thorough and sharing how to do this
These directions worked fine for my 2003 Subaru Forester. A CD was stuck in
the 6 disc player. After removing the player and taking off its top panel I
was able to free the CD but the player is still broken.
Great vid. Thanks for sharing!
My first you tube posting. Hope this helps some people out.
That’s great! Made everything super easy for me.
Thanks for posting this. You did a great job with the tips and tricks with
the paper and clip descriptions. I have seen another good vid about the
same, but yours is much more comprehensive. I would have had trouble
removing the part around the gear stick. 🙂
Thank you for this! I have an ’04 Forester w/ the factory sub. Do you know
if installing an aftermarket receiver will keep it’s functionality or do I
need to break down and buy an amp?
Hoping the paper trick comes in handy while trying to repair an ’08 Outback
radio. Thanks for posting, 757.
Thank you for the posting this helps me out i have the same trim and model
subaru. I’m looking to upgrade my factory equipment. First detailed video
I’ve seen for 05 Forester
Great job very clear, How about one on replacing the shifter light?
