How Take the Radio Out of a Mitsubishi Galant

The Mitsubishi Galant has been around since 1969, when Mitsubishi introduced it to the North American market. Since the Galant has undergone nine substantial redesigns over its production cycle, it would be impossible to cover radio removal procedures for all models. Taking the radio out of your eighth-generation Mitsubishi Galant (1999 to 2003 models) is simple and only takes about 20 minutes.

Things You'll Need

  • Pliers
  • Panel trim tool
  • Phillips head screwdriver
  • Turn the engine off and unhook the negative battery cable to prevent electrical shock.

  • Remove the radio trim panel. Use a panel trim tool to pry the edge of the panel away, and then pop it off with your hands.

  • Remove the climate control module. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the four screws mounting the module. Pull it out and unplug the harness from behind it.

  • Remove the radio. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the two screws securing the radio to the dash (below the radio, behind the slot where the climate control module was mounted). Slide the radio out.

  • Disconnect the wiring. Unplug the factory wiring harness from behind the radio, and then unplug the antenna connection.
