The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution (commonly referred to as "Evo") is a performance edition of the standard Mitsubishi Lancer. The Evo X is the 10th edition of the Lancer Evolution series, which made its debut in 2008. Since the standard Lancer and the Evo share interior and dash components, the process for removing the Evo X radio is the same as in the standard Lancer. Because minor dash disassembly is required, the process takes about 30 minutes.
Use your pliers to loosen the cable nut on the negative battery cable and then pull the cable away from the terminal.
Remove the Phillips screw from the right hinge of the glove box (visible with the glove box open), and then remove the Phillips screw at the top portion of the glove box.
Pull the trim panel (above the glove box and extending to the steering column) away from the dash and set it aside.
Remove the three mounting screws from the emergency flasher switch (visible below the radio with the panel removed), and then pull the flasher switch from the dash and disconnect the wiring harnesses.
Pull off the radio surround panel (including the air conditioner vent covers). Grasp the panel at the bottom and pull sharply to remove it from the radio head unit.
Remove the four Phillips screws mounting the radio in the dash. Pull the radio out and unplug the wiring harness and antenna plug.
