How do I remove the Radio on the 2008 CTS?I have pop-ed my unit out already to "take a look".. It's pretty easy.
The first thing you must do is remove the wood trim (if you have wood
trim that is) around the shifter and where the faceplate meets the
dash. Four pieces total. Just yank them out with a bit of force.. you
won't hurt them..
Once there out you'll need to pop off the cover of
the shifter. Just pull from the top really hard but it'll go..
Once
this is off then take a socket wrench to the two sockets on the bottom of the faceplate.
Once those are off
then you can easily pop out the faceplate. You'll have to disconnect
the faceplate from it's wiring harness.
It should just pop off with a press to the release and then pull it
off.
Now set the face plate off somewhere safe.
Once that is off the
radio will be right in front of you.
Use the same socket wrench to
remove the radio.
There are five connectors in the back of the radio,
you'll have to remove them one by one, then voila you're radio will be
disconnected!
