chadwick35/04 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 My 2004 subaru leagcy I want to do a radio swap and its another subaru one, so it should be easy and I checked to see if it will fit my model and it will. It 's out of a 03 outback to my 04 leagcy and I am nervous to pull everything apart. I started to yeserday and I ran into prblems pulling the bezel off arounf the radio and was nervous I would break something, so please help me out so I dont have to have the dealer do it, to save me some money!

SubPar Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Just be gentle, don't use any metal tools to pry at the trim, and you'll be fine. I put a 99 Outback tape deck into my 02 Impreza Outback Sport, with no problems. Remove the cupholder first (two screws), then the vents will just pop out,and after that everything should be obvious.

nickb21 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 It isn't too bad to pull apart, but as mentioned be gentle when prying the plastic pieces out. You might want to check out http://www.crutchfield.com for an install guide, it should help you with the dash removal/re-assembly at least.
