Hello!

I want to remove my old head unit and install a new DVD player. Does anyone know how to remove the old head unit?

Could someone point me to the right link, I tried searching but all I get is removing the head unit from other type of civic but not my model.

for the link of the inside of my car

Thanks

Pull shift ****. Pop off shifter trim bezel. Remove two 8mm bolts mounted thru bottom of radio. Entire radio/AC control bezel will remove as one.

Well everything I can find shows it just pops off, but that it is very tight. Either way, you have to use an offset tool to get the bolts off so it might not be your best bet.

Try this instead:
Remove the driver side underdash. The tabs should just turn 90 degrees and the panel should come out.
Open the glovebox, and remove the glovebox stops. Let the glovebox hang down.
This should give you enough access to remove the two bolts that hold the entire center dash bezel in. After removing the bolts, the radio/AC controls bezel will all come out as one piece.

Glad to hear it. That's what a forum is supposed to be for.

Remove gear ****, squeeze boot and lift the lower panel along with it and it should free up a 6 o'clock. Coax the lower half of the panel off the shifter, the top panel including the radio follows pretty easily. Didn't have to use pry tools. Surprised me it was that easy.

from the pix of the bezel, it looks like it's just a snap on.. does this mean i can install my headunit b4 i get my bezel? i got my d3 before the weekend and i've been itching to put it in, but i've been having trouble getting a hold of the dash kit. (finally went to a more reliable retailer and it's coming in on wed)
