Default How to remove OEM radio

Hi guys!

I have a 2007 Aveo and I want to remove my OEM radio (Blaupunkt GMDAT CDP). But I cannot figure it out how to do it.

Can you help me?

Photos will be perfect or tutorial.

Thanks

First, i have never been in a Aveo, but I looked on Google how it's setup. You have the same radio I have in my truck. If you can pop off the dash, around the radio. There will be 4 bolts holding it in.
If your putting in aftermarket, How are you doing it??? It's a lil special compared to older vehicles.

Thanks. You can still paste some tutorial or photos, because I dont know exactly what to do.

I will see if I'll replace it.
How its made the aux in conector? Is the jack connector or something else? At the rear side of the radio?

For hatchback....pop the 2 panels off either side of the radio



For Notchback, remove the U-Shaped trim from around the radio.

In both cases, use PLASTIC pry tools so you do not damage the trim. Once the trim is off, there should be 4 phillips screws holding the radio in

Toma, the AUC connector is not a jack connector.
Is a mini-iso adapter, like this from the picture.
What do you want to say with "bold typed"?

nothing I got all the informations that i needed.
Or, how to change the mini-iso to jack connector?

bold typed --> How its made the aux in conector? Is the jack connector or something else? At the rear side of the radio?

This question I meant. Is this question typed with bold font, so it's bold typed or not? :-D

Toma, now i understood what you want to say with bold type.
First time i was a little confused.I'm romanian citizen.I don't speack very well english.My intention was to help you.

TO transform tha mini iso in to a jack connector you need an adapter, hu change the RCA in to a Jack conector.
