Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

It's actually an aftermarket stereo (a Pioneer Avic) that was very professionally installed before I bought my car.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi - it appears that one of the input cables has jolted loose from the back of my aftermarket stereo (I know this is the case because it happened on a very bumpy road and I heard it cut out on a particularly bad pothole; all other sources but this one play in stereo). Anyone know an easy way to access the back of the stereo in the dash without having to take the whole dash apart?

POST 2Original post

Yes, pull the radio with 2 metal radio extractors and you should have access.

Here is one place to get the required radio removal tools: http://www.suncoastparts.com/product//00072195701.html

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the input. It's actually an aftermarket stereo (a Pioneer Avic) that was very professionally installed before I bought my car. I agree, though, that it is likely easiest to have the stereo come out through the front, which I assume would mean that I need to start by removing the "horseshoe" and then removing the custom trim that goes around the stereo. Any installers here?

POST 5Original post

I have an Avic-Z in my car, you need to pull the horseshoe and see how the installer secured the radio since there are a few different ways. It should be pretty obvious once you are in there.

POST 6Original post

On my AVIC, I fabricated a bracket that uses the two mounting location screws for the factory NAV system. Once the horseshoe is removed, I can have the unit out in just about no time and very easy to access.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
