The Dodge Intrepid is a front-wheel-drive, full-sized sedan (now out of production). The factory-installed radio was sufficient enough for a mass audience. However, every year aftermarket companies specializing in audio equipment create new and more powerful radios and head units that are a direct replacement for the factory radio. Since the factory radio can be replaced, you can do this upgrade at home in your driveway, but you'll need to know how to first remove the stock radio.
Disconnect the cable to the negative battery terminal. Turn the retaining nut counterclockwise on the cable clamp to loosen and slide the clamp off the terminal.
Remove the ashtray/coin holder.
Reach behind the area where the ashtray/coin holder used to be and pull the center dash trim off. It is held in place with pressure clips, so pulling it straight off will remove the trim.
Remove the four screws holding the radio in place. Make sure to put them in a safe place, as you will need to put them back when you are done installing the new radio.
Pull the radio out of the dash.
Unplug the electrical connection and antenna.
