How do you take the factory stereo out of a 1997 Jeep Wrangler?

Answer 1

What you want to do first is disconnect the battery. After you do this remove the piece of plastic that runs on top of the dash up against the windshield. This is the piece where the defrost air comes out of ( the long piece ) . You remove this by wiggling it back and forth and it should pop out. After doing that you revealed two screws that hold the center piece of plastic in place. (the piece that the two center air vents are a part of) Remove these two screws and then gently pull the rest of the piece off. (it is clipped in like the long defrost plastic piece) This should expose two bolts that hold the stereo in place, remove these and pull it out. Disconnect the wires and that's all she wrote. Good luck.
