yup, that's right. just got a kenwood KDC-4022 head unit. just like my front speaker install, i'm going to take pics and post each step with descriptions. i know there's already a head unit install in this forum, but, it has no pics... that's what i'm here for!

 

k, so i'm done. lets begin with the descriptions:

1. unscrew the 2 screws under the climate control console

 

2. pull out the little storage area underneath the climate control console from the back

 

3. pull off climate control knobs (note: you don't need plyers for this; i did it with my hands)

 

4. unscrew the 2 screws underneath the outer 2 climate control knobs

 

5. pry off the cover of the climate control/CD player area. i used a screw driver wrapped in electrical tape as not to scratch the surface.

 

6. eventually, the back will just come off after prying is complete.

 

7. unscrew the 4 screws that support the brackets the stock head unit is attached to

 

8. this is the what the back of the stock head unit looks like

 

9. unhook the harness and the power cable from the back of the stock head unit

 

10. here's a comparison of the stock head unit with the new kenwood (same size)

 

11. unscrew the brackets from the side of the stock head unit

 

12. as you can see, the brackets from the stock head unit match up with the new head unit

 

13. using the screws that came with the new head unit (not the old screws) place the old head unit's brackets on the new head unit

 

14. connect the wiring harness to the new head unit's wiring harness.
