: what tools are need to put the Navi in brianteel 10-20-2005, 12:23 PM i am getting my truck back today and i am going to install the navi before class. what tools are need to pull the cover off and pull the radio out? my plan is to just stick the antenna in there without removing the whole cover. any info would be great Hacksaw 10-20-2005, 02:20 PM All that is needed is your fingers to pull the front panel off and a 1/4'' drive ratchet and ext. or nut driver. I believe it is 5/16 but not positive. Only 3 screws holding it in. Pretty simple. TheBac 10-20-2005, 07:02 PM Are you also going to install an antenna? If so, you have to remove the upper dash. If you're just doing the head unit, take out the A/C controls first. That will give you a lot more room to work. The wiring is very short to the radio, as is the antenna lead. Be careful.

Its either 9mm or 9/32" IIRC. ---Ben tophog 10-20-2005, 09:29 PM You can mount the antenna on the frame that comes around from the instrument cluster. It fits fine there. I did the install last night. My screws were 7mm. DURAtotheMAX 10-20-2005, 11:10 PM ahh yeah, thanks Tophog...i knew it was either 7mm or 9mm...couldnt remember which ---Ben brianteel 10-21-2005, 12:20 AM i got it in....i put the antenna on the vents behind it. i just layed it there and works great so far | ||
