Information on removing a 1998 Camry radio ...

asdf

Folks,

I need to remove a 1998 Camry radio and I need some pointers as to the
best way to do so. I have a 1998 Camry XLE and it has the fake wood inserts
on the bezel. I tried to pry the bezel with my hands, but I had no luck.
Before I break anything, I wanted to ask this news \group to see if anyone
has done this before or if it has any advise.

Actually, I am trying to install a 6 disk changer. But I might end up
replace the entire radio/cd player with an mp3 player that contains an AUX
input.

Thanks,
eric

If the ash tray is under the radio, there are screws hodling the ash tray,
and probably the trim palte, too, in place. Pull the ash tray and remove
the screws, probably located on the metal piece that seals the tray.

THEN the trim piece should just pull out. Look for screws above the ash
tray, below the radio or heater control. They may only be visible by
looking up from the bottom.
