Thank you a lot for the video. I have been struggling to remove the radio factory fitted in my micra.but after seeing your video I think I got the clue of what I was missing during the process of removing the radio as I didn't know that after undoing the screws I had to lift that panel of dash board in order to unscrew the bolts hidden inside. Oh lala, what a video!!! I nearly went to see a mechanic to pay them to remove it for me as I struggled for almost a week, trying to pull it by force. I got to the point I conceded that it's may never come off that radio and decided I got to see a mechanic, but before I do so, I had an instinct which told me to check it up on you tube. and as I went to you tube, there you go! Scrolled down, the channels, skipped other video I came across, then landed on your one mate, you're a such a genius. I know for one reason or another, many of lads who works in garage may hate you for the fact you are showing their secrets to us, , however at the same time we too, as ordinary people, with no knowledge about these things we also deserves to know a few bit of DIY so we are able to solve these minors problems of our cars if faced one instead of going to bother a professional mechanic who should be busy dealing with far more important things in their jobs, than to have to waist there time on little things such as one you're teaching us.i dunno, but I think we deserve to know a bit, shouldn't we?...if am not correct may someone remind me please..
Great job, just changed my mates stereo for him, one extra wee tip when putting stereo and vents back in , it is easier to place the two vents into the tubes where the air comes up in the dash behind the stereo and then just reintroduce the stereo with metal bracket and plastic dash front as the vents got in my way when clipped into the front piece. when almost in just put fingers around the trim and click vents forwards into their original places
Excellent advice, thanks!
I have just followed all your instructions and it worked fantastically well ,no problem at all, its the best clip to follow, as the other ones I looked at said move all the trims down the pillars,which as this video tells you is absolutely not necessary, so again, thanks very much
If only I searched for this tutorial first before trying to remove it, I should have saved so much time. Thanks for this
Nice tutorial but I wonder if the the people passing was thinking that you were about to steal the car and/or the stereo ;)
Help - Your advice was great got it straight out in minutes. Now an hour later I still can't get the thing back in. No amount of twisting and pushing is making that radio go back in that hole.
There must be something really simple I'm not doing. Any Tips for that.
Thanks SO much for uploading this! Without this clip I would never have figured out how to get hold of that serial number of the stereo. Took us 10 minutes now, including removal and putting it back. :-)
so did you manage to unlock your radio? I have the same problem
@@RS-kt6is That's aaages ago, I've got no memory at all concerning this but as I wrote I was obviously able to remove/unlock it..?
very clear video, all worked well. I was a bit nervous about lifting the dashboard trim, but this was very easy with a large metal flat screwdriver. Removed radio and replaced in 30 mins. It is a bit of a squeeze against the steering column levers. Had to do this to get unlock code for radio after removing battery to charge it. Radio was a Blaupunkt CD player (fitting in the standard slot), and all serial numbers were on the rear of it - I removed it completely but there were no extra numbers on it - only a barcode on the front top edge but that was the same as the one on the rear. Radio was quite hard to remove from the metal chassis around it, but you can slacken off the nearby screws to give it some slack.
Now off to t'internet to find out how to get the unlock code....
technicalboy Got the code from here: www.radiocodes.co.uk/ - for a cost of £8.95. I'd much rather pay a fair price to get this, rather than try some dubious downloaded program or visit a series of ad-infested sites that do gawd-knows-what to your PC. The site above had a glitch at around midnight when I was using it, but I emailed them, and had the code by 10 am the next day, even on a Bank Holiday. Job Done.
Thanks for the tutorial. Really glad i tried it! I managed this in 2 hours! I would say that unless you have the exact tools shown and some experience (lol), the removal and reinstall will take an hour! You also will struggle to get the radio out without removing the dashboard (and therefore removing the inside pillars). Ps if you remove the pillars, open your doors! Putting it back also takes longer than removing it: i had to leave some screws out and components as they simply wouldnt fit! I personally didnt anticipate crumbling stripped screws and the JVC radio being 1mm larger than expected (but thats my issue). Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Two of the screws attaching my radio are so right that I can't get them out or they're stripping.
Worked perfectly thank you replacement head unit was same size as nissan one there are two gold screws on top of plastic surround use them to secure aftermarket unit as shown in video you might have to remove cage of aftermarket unit and squeeze it in but it does fit.
Cheers for this mate worked like a charm! Saved me sister paying out 30 quid for halfords to do it
Our pleasure!
Interesting.
tie a bit of dental floss around the bolt once it is loosened but not all the way out. it makes it so much easier to recover if it accidentally drops into the dash 👍
A Small Magnet helps too
Mine dropped already. But I'm not sure it's really needed.
Worked well, although it's essential to apply some force at times. But I broke nothing and new audio is on its place :)
Very useful video. Hardest part is that top bolt especially if you only have a spanner. My hands are cut to s**t.
Cheers for uploading this, sadly it completely put me off doing it and I've wound up going for an fm transmitter instead
Brilliant video, I needed the number from the back of the head unit this worked a treat! Many thanks for the info
Thanks very much for this video. Gonna change the stereo in my 2004 k12 next month and now I know how to:)
The hardest part is loosening the top bit of the dash and removing the holding bolt at the back. The rest is pretty self explanatory. The bolt under the dash is hidden, and lifting up the dash is also awkward which would have more useful to see. This basically starts half way through the removal. The bolt is briefly mentioned.
My nissan micra doesnt have the top compartment instead it has a maintenance screen howWould i remove my radio?
CZcams is amazing. This video saves a lot of sweat and curse words. :)
Nothing was edited on the main content of the video. Every video we upload is pretty much live and as its done. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Hi there, have you got a video for replacing the actual stereo on a nissan march 2005? Appreciate in advance🙂
I'd like the same video.
Nice tutorial thanks for share it
Can I replace the current stereo (same as this) with a newer Micra model? Not Satnav, but maybe one of the ones that play MP3 disks? Would the steering wheel controls still work if I did? Would the Stereo be bigger? can that center housing be swapped out with the newer housing? Sorry, loads of questions!
No Problem - Have fun!
Thanks
great video , worked a treat , thanks!
What if the top flap is solid, how do you remove the solid part to get to the screws
Hi. Have k12 with same dash as yours. Just wondered if you could tell me if you noticed any pugs behind radio ? As I want to remove the little box over radio and fit if possible the clock. If the wiring is there.
Thank you so much. Fantastic help.
Struggling to get it back in now. Needed to remove radio to get info for the radio code 😂😂😂
Can you please tell me what kind of connectors you found attached to the car stereo ? are those standard connectors or do you need to buy an adapter to instal a recent car stereo ?
Actually easy enough, but the power adapter didnt fit the new JVC radio. What to do there?
brillient thank you top bloke
I'd like to try this on a Micra sport sr 2007 but the facia is completely different.There is a cd player in place of the little storage box and surely the hole that is left would be too big for my own radio?Have you done one?
How do u take the actual CD player out
Ty maid
Does the Nissan micra 2002 have an aux cable?
Do i need to disconnect the negative on the car battery first ?
very useful ;) thanks for the share
HELP!!!! I just bought a nissan micra 2002 the old model and there is no usb port or bluetooth to connect my phone I want to know if theres another cheap way for me to connect it btw it doesnt have a cassette :( just cd player and radio.
mine has trip computer at the top the stereo. which means there is no lid to open and reach the screws. is there any video or explanation for removing the screws at the top?
there is a plastic piece just above the screen. you can remove that carefully with a flathead screwdriver or trim removal tool.
Or your nails if it's already loose like mine was
Dose anyone know if this is the way to find your serial number I need mine to get my code also can you help me I have a 54 plate micra and it dose not have the storage but at the top so no screws at the top just at the bottom do just undo them only
What if I have to remove the side panels and the whole front panel, how do I do that? My "extension" fell into the dash board and I can see it, but can't reach it with just lifting the front "desk" a little bit.
Any videos on that?
There are videos on the internet to remove the whole dashboard.
HI, i have a nissan march 2007, the stock head unit has a small angle curve at the bottom, would i need to change the fascia panel to install a 3rd party head unit? Cheers
same here. I don't know if you can actualy buy such fascia panel or not....Did you get it sorted?
A lot of people say that! Tips and tricks ;) Subscribe!
thanks
Haha, Its worth a go, Its not as scary as you first think!
My dashboard is nothing like the one your demonstrating on .micra 1300cc s Yr2002
Yours is the earlier model K11, just when the model changed to the later K12 model featured in the video. 2002 was the year of the change!
