I have a really dumb question, but how do I remove the radio from a 2007 MegaCab? I have the truck sold and had Best Buy install my aftermarket player, but they cannot get to the swap until next week. Is this an easy swap back to factory?

I admit I have not looked very close to see how to remove it. I wanted to start here 1st. Any help would be appreciated.

 

REMOVAL



1.Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.2.Remove center instrument panel bezel (Refer to 23 - BODY/INSTRUMENT PANEL/INSTRUMENT PANEL CENTER BEZEL - REMOVAL) .3.Remove radio mounting fasteners.






CAUTION: Pulling the antenna cable straight out of the radio without pulling on the locking antenna connector could damage the cable or radio.

4.Disconnect the antenna cable by pulling the locking antenna connector (2) away from the radio.





5.Disconnect electrical harness connector.

 

VZ Dude you are just on it man! You have helped a lot of folks myself included tremendously. Thanks!

 

I was curious if the links would work!? THEY DO!!!!

 

Wow, pictures and all. Impressive!

One final dumb question and I will go back to the 1st gen forum - does the bezel pop off like all the others I have messed with or are there screws involved somewhere?

 

On the Mega Cab there are no screws holding it in place. Just pop it off. Start at the seam just below the AUX power plug.

 

Thanks to Everyone. Appreciate the quick response!

 

Hey VZ

Thanks for the info, I need to do mine too. I can't get the bezel info without a password and ID.

Can you tell me how to remove the bezel?

Thanks,

John
