Hi

Can anyone tell me how to remove the stereo/radio/cassette from my ES300. It is a standard factory unit.

Also id there a way to get a face plate for an ES so i can add a different stereo system? I find the factory unit to be lame and would like to peronolize it with a better system but cannot find a face plate. Not sure if I want a huge hole in the dash.

Thanks
Steve

I listed info about a faceplate on the above post for you. That is however on a 96. I'm unfamiliar with any differences of a 92. On my 96, you must remove the center a/c vents to get to 2 screws, and remove the black piece at the very bottom of the radio just above the drink holder. There will be 2 more screws behind it. It should come out after these simple steps. Hope this helps.

 

thanks for that... i was starting to go nuts trying to find a way to take the stereo out.

Does the bottom plastic strip above the drinks holder just pull out or is there a certain way to pull that off without breaking it?

I was trying to pull it slightly but worried it would break

Thanks
Steve

 

Yeah, I know what you mean. I didn't have any tips when I did mine. Glad I could help. Also, yes the black strip does just pull out. It has two clips that pop into place. You should be set now. Good luck.

 

I had a heck of a time gettin my middle air vents out on my 92 es, it took me forever, But it is just like he explained. About the face plate, i went to a local stero place in my town and they had one in stock, it was very unuasual for a place to have anything in stock for a lex. Good luck man

 

is it a double slot face or single slot? I wanted to put a double size stereo in place.

 

It is a "single slot" faceplate, but you can carefully cut out more and modify it to adapt a double-din stereo.
