To remove the stock stereo

Check the fuss

I would suggest you spice the wires back to stock harness by male and female connections and tape over them with black tape then get a stereo install kit that includes a wiring harness ( cost about $20 maybe or less) for the year of truck you have... it will plug right to your stock harness ...never just cut stock stereo wires from stock plug it will be more of a headache than you think trust me I've installed all my own stereo system been there done that... good luck

It depends on what it is or isn't doing....no power? Check source and wiring. No sound? Check speakers and wiring. If your discs don't play, the player may be jammed or the laser could have malfunctioned, etc. regardless of the issue, you will have to remove the stereo to diagnose/repair it. Since you would already have the assumed stock stereo out of the dash, why not just replace it with a much better quality one for under the price of repairing/wasting time with the stock p.o.s. Most stereo retailers have adapter plugs and dash inserts to make installation simple.

The stock amp would be useless if you are going to uprate the rest of your system. Because you will play it louder. You could use it to drive the front door speakers, but I would remove it and fit an upgraded item that will actually improve your system.If you are going to install a new head unit then there is a very real chance that the amp in the new head unit will be better than the one installed by the manufacturer.

You have alot of work ahead of you. If you haven't installed an amp before, you may want to have a stereo shop or your regular mechanic install it. There are amp install kits available at most auto part stores. Also, if it's a stock stereo, there are adapters you can use to pull signal from your stock speakers.

Contact crutchfield and buy a factory interface cable. doesn't cost much.

None of the mitsubishi cars stereos have the same code, I had this problem with the stock stereo on my 99 eclipse spyder, I removed the stereo and put an aftermarket in, but changed it back when I was trading the car in, You have to call mitsubishi customer sevice with the serial code number on the back of the radio, also you have to provide them with information to prove that you actually own the car.

That all depends on a few things, such as what wattage the current ones are, compared to new, obviously you want higher wattage, but with that said, if your system isn't designed to push the extra wattage, then you will be wasting your time. Nowadays these vehicles normally have amplifiers built into the system as well. It doesn't cost anything to stop at a custom installation place and ask for some advice first, before you decide. I wouldn't think that Jaguar would install/design, a cheap sound system, which would put me to thinking about leaving it stock, and finding out exactly what speakers I need to replace factory ones, but that's where an custom installation place should have all those details so you can weigh out your options.

remove cup holders first then 2 screws on bottom then 2 screws through the ac vent and should slide right out
check ebay or a car custom place
