Will soon be installing a new cd player in my truck and was wondering if anyone has torn into theirs and what the process was? I didn't see it under the DIY sticky.

Its actually pretty easy. Pop off the silver part of the instrument trim panel on the right hand side. Pop out the cig. lighter and them remove the climate controls. The A/C fan dial comes out from under the left of the silver part of the dash you removed earlier. Unplug your connections, then you'll have four 10mm screws holding in the factory radio. Once you take the factory radio out remove the mounting brackets from the sides and use those on your new head unit to mount it (if youre doing a DD unit).

I know somebody here has a PDF of the process, they'll post it for you.

Got all my Tundra info from this site. Do a search theres alot. All of this doesn't apply, take what you need. When I first did mine , I thought there would be more screws, most of it pops off. Just start yanking away. First time took an hour, second time about 5 minutes literally.
