Help! I can't seem to take out my stock headunit...

...First, I tried prying off the hazard and the clock adjustment off. I couldn't take them out. Maybe I should use a thinner flathead screwdriver. I also don't know how I can pry off the clock adjustment. Then, I tried taking out the whole thing, starting with the center console. But there's this black CD rack there that I couldn't seem to take out to get to the screws...Can someone give me more details on this??? Help!

Ok, now I only have one problem. I cannot pry off the clock thing. The hazard was easy. How about the clock thing???

Just pry off the black trim surrounding the headunit, compartment, and buttons. You'll figure it out from there.

Ok. I've taken out the black trim and I've put in my aftermarket headunit. It's an Alpine CDA-7863. Now, I can't find a slot to connect my stock CD Changer. Is it because the 7863 has the AI-Net??? I don't know much about this stuff.

listen just open the center compartment and then pry the black trim form either the bottom roght or left from inside the compartment it will come right off and if u fuck it up at all it will be hidden by the little door anyways.

That Alpine doesnt have stock input for a Acura CD Changer, they might have a convertor. Probably just call them and ask if you could hook up a stock changer to that unit. Go get the Alpine changer...

Glad to see you got the deck! I hope you like it. I thought you said you had an alpine changer too?? That one should hook up to it... if not you need that adapter to make an alpine changer work with a stock head unit and just reverse it to use the stock cd changer.
