    Replacing Stereo

    Hi,

    I'm trying to replace the stereo in a 2000 Elantra GLS wagon. Previous
    googling has helped me w.r.t. opening up the center console. However, I
    can't seem to get it out far enough. There seems to be something hanging it
    up related to the control for the hot/cool air blend. I've already freed the
    cables from underneath, but it's still hanging up somewhere, and I can't
    reach anything in order ti try and do something about it. Any suggestions?
    TIA

    You are braver than me. Only once have I decided to replace the car
    stereo in a compact car myself. NEVER AGAIN. I'll gladly pay somebody
    to do it for me. The space is too small to work in and most of the
    time you half to disassemble half the dash. NEVER AGAIN!

    Is there a cable for fresh/recirculated air? If so it attaches behind the
    glove box.

    Did you remove the screw behind the dimmer? If not pry the dimmer out
    with a small screwdriver.

    Thanks...In the meantime, I had found the problem, it was the air cable. Of
    course the next fun part is the fact that I have to order a cable adapter
    for the radio. Which leads to my next question: What's the best way to
    install the sleeve that came with the radio? There really isn't a lot for it
    to grab onto. Or should I take the brackets off the old one and try to adapt
    them onto the new one??

    99 out of 100 times you don't need those brackets. there should have been a
    bracket removal tool included with your radio.

    use the brackets that are on your factory stereo
    The new stereo probably has holes that line up.

    if not drill new ones in the BRACKET not the stereo

    And I say again...more power to you for doing this on your own.

    Of course, if you paid an installer, it would have been done in an
    hour or two instead of a few days........

    Oh the price we pay to save money.
