The CD changer will be installed on the top left corner of the trunk. I'll explain the process in two parts: Part 1: Making the wiring harness connector for the CD accessible. a. Remove the carpeted lining behind the left rear tailight (within the trunk). This is held in place by 3 plugs which will pop off. b. The lining is a 1-piece moulded unit that extends around the shock tower. Pull the lining away until you see a bunch of cables held with a tie down near the shock tower (along the side wall). c. Pull the cables out to expose 2 unused connectors. The round one is for the CD. Free about 12-15 inches of this cable. d. Replace the lining making after routing the cable/connector to stick out into the trunk. Part2: Installing the CD. 1. Along with the bracket you would have recieved 3 plugs that have a hexagonal shape. Look for matching hexagonal holes on the rear deck. Insert the plug. 2. Trial fit the bracket to match the plugs. 3. Remove 3 protective screws from the top (or bottom? - I forget) of the CD. Use 4 screws to attach the CD changer to the bracket. 4. Attach CD+bracket to the rear deck with the 3 provided screws. 5. Plug in connector on cd to connector on harness. 6. Enjoy. Tools required: 1 flat bladed screwdriver for reming plugs on lining, and a Phillips head screw driver. Time: 15-20 minutes. Regards, Byas
