as far as i can remember (i did this like 3 years ago)
there is a carpeted part under your radio (between the radio area and the ashtray/lighter area)
pull out the carpeted area.. its hooked on by two clips.. one on either side

then use your fingers to reach back behind all the wires and stuff.... until you feel the back of the radio
then just push it out real hard..
as far as i remember its not hooked on by any screws.. just push hard cuz its stuck in real good

good luck

 

I don't know if its anything like the '98 models. But you have to remove the wood trim first. It will expose the rest after you do so.

 

whoa!!!
you had to remove the wood trim??
i didn't...

yeah my radio was bolted in. There is no way to get it out just by pushing.

 

do you have a 2.5 or 3.2?

 

3.2

 

hmm.. weird

 

removing the wood trim too?
Becareful though!!

 

By the way, why don't you take this opportunity and upgrade your sound system?? Maybe a good idea though!

Just a suggestion!!!

 

Anybody knows how to take the radio out from 97 TL .My radio is not lighted only power light is on nothing else so at night I can't see the buttons I have to remove it and see the connections in the back .Did anybody remove theirs?
