Hey, wassup all. I just bought a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT equipped w/ the Infinity 4 CD changer that has managed to jam and stop working all together. Upon searching ebay, i came across the same stereo for sale, put a bid on it, won, and now i am waiting to receive it in the mail. The question is, how do i remove the old stereo from the car to put in the "new" one? I'm definitely considering upgrading the entire sound system (I already have 2 12" subs w/ a 1000 watt amplifier from my previous car--Volvo 850), but the stock head unit will be fine for now, at least until i get used to my car. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Carl.

Well, I didn't have the cd changer, but I'm guessing that it's right below the receiver where I have this little tray. There's 2 screws on the bottom of the center console, then the whole piece should pop out, and un-plug the hazzard switch, and you should be in buisiness. Just use care when prying the thing off, lol.
