Double din radio in a 98 ?

[Fent]

Looks like there is some module right behind/above the factory radio?

Can you relocate that piece to make space for a double din? I cant take not having a CD player anymore!

Whoever has done one please let me know.

You'll get mixed thoughts on this but you can remove the L bracket that the stereo rests on & flip it upside down & backwards. Then it will clear the overhead stuff & still support your new unit. I recall a bit of bending upward on the module but after you've made space on the bottom, you're looking at a little over a 16th of an inch. Of course you'll have to trim some of the plastic on the top & bottom, but not much.

It was dark and i didn't mess with it too much, but someone told me its an airbag module, is that true?

Whatever it is, its safe to move around right lol ?

My wife claimed the Nav unit that I bought for the Mark as her own so I am still stock...........

Ok how do you get these replacement Din radios out again? I see no holes to push the pin removal tools in or any kind of release button???
