Whats up guys? Okay so yes I am a very very big newbie when it comes to audio stuff. Anyway I bought a POS Sony CD player for my galant back in the day, and since the eclipse I bought came with an even worse tape deck i wanna swap em over. I want to do it myself and dont want to pay the shop guys 100$ for it. So just a few questions
1)What do I need to take the cd player out? 2)How hard is it to actually do this? 3)How to remove the unit itself (where are the screws and such) 4)Where do I hook up all the funny little cables and stuff?
Help a newbie out, any help is appreciated. Thanks

Its actually very simple...Remove the shift nob. Remove the 2 screws on the rear of the center console, back by the rear of the front seats, one on each side. Pull off the ashtray/cupholder, and you will find 2 more screws there. Now pull off the radio trim bezel, by the top first, and then the bottom. You will find 2 more screws at the top of the center console, directly across from the top of the radio sides. You should be then able to remove the console back far enough to get at the radio which has 4 mounting screws. You can use a dash kit to mount your radio, or you can use the iso mount option if you have the pocket under your stock radio. basically, you new radio should have holes in the side of it that match up with the screw holes that are used to mount the pocket to the stock radio bracket..Use a wiring harness made for the mitsubishi, and match up the wire colors to the sony's wire harness and you are good to go.
