[@rndsommer40]

I know it's an old video but you just saved me broken plastics and bloody knuckles. Thanks brother!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Awesome. Glad to see that the video still helps

[@xReadyAimRiotx603]

Came here to say the same thing!

[@mandoreforger6999]

Just used it. Fantastic. I love how you keep us one step ahead in your process. You prep the viewer, you announce tool sizes, etc. No wasted words either. Just perfect!

[@1NATURELOVERJ]

As a professional videographer, I must say your video is very impressive. From the camera angles, audio, and step by step simple instructions, it is very well done.

[@mr.jessiejames5625]

It took me less than 15 min to remove dash, get info off radio which I needed and place dash back on. Thank you for a great video!

[@chucknance1290]

I drank 3 beers and I was STILL able to understand everything you said - I had spent over $100 on a factory service manual and it was not half as useful as your video - thank you so much 🙂

[@ericoliver6802]

Great video, my man. Step by step with insane breakdown of every step.

[@Jmullally61]

Another perfect video, thank you so much for the step by step, especially including tools needed. You're the man!

[@gregleclair4182]

Dude! Just had to log in and say: What a great video!! Great lighting, camera angles, audio. Detailed, concise explanations on everything, with bolt sizes and all. I'm pretty sure my 9 year old could remove my dash if he watched this a few times. Thanks, and Subscribed!!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Many thanks Greg! If you had watched one of my earlier videos you would say something else lol. I have improved over time and try to step it up each time when possible. Thanks for having subscribe and for the great feedback! Maybe I should use a 9 year old to show how easy these repairs can be sometimes lol.

[@transistor101]

This gentleman should be used as the standard for an instructional video. Well done. And, thanks for the video on this topic in particular. It was very helpful.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Thanks for those kind words!

[@jdkeizer]

I cannot thank you enough for this video! I especially appreciated the very easy step by step and pace at which you demonstrated this procedure.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

That feedback means a lot! Thanks for comment and for watching

[@exploreadventure258]

This is the most clear and detailed demonstration of something like this I have ever seen, you're amazing!

[@DadFixes]

This is seriously the best video I have seen on how to take the radio out. Great shots, very detailed information... nothing extra! Keep up the great work! If I want to change my radio from this to the MOPAR one with GPS, do I need a new harness?

[@johncronk3939]

Thanks. You made it much easier. There are always things hidden that the average person doesn’t know about.

[@tonysmonchinski3896]

I'm a guy who knows nothing about cars (not proud of that, btw) but your video walked me right through the removal of my 2014 Jeep Wrangler's radio. The problem I had was the radio would cut out for 2 seconds after playing for 4. The dealership told me I'd need a new radio ($900; though they suggested I go to Best Buy and get one there) but from what I read online this would not solve my problem. I called Jeep; they claimed they had no idea what I was talking about. I posted on Cargurus.com and they helped me out with a link to a video as to how to solder the radio when I got it out of the vehicle--but I needed to get it out of the vehicle. Which is where your video proved invaluabe! Thank you!!

Thank you for this video. I have watched probably 50 different tutorials and yours was the most efficient and thorough without all of the other garbage. I definitely appreciate you showing the "2 step" lock, I can't tell you how many of those red clips I have broken simply out of ignorance as to how they work. Thanks sir!

Good video, but you don't need to remove the vents at all. They come off with the dash bezel without that extra step.

[@dcarlson1977]

There is not a video out there that put in a 10" android radio that is not 100% made to go into a jk I think that would be a good video to help those that dont want to spend a ton of money on a radio that really is $130. That being said that video you shared here was 100% perfect. best video of removal i have seen yet thank you and keep it up

[@ap14rcf70]

And ... 2 years later, I still haven't removed it - and my radio has degraded to the point I get zero AM stations (not even the local 50000 watt blow torch) and, spotty FM reception. Still a great video.

[@jamesevans8459]

I would agree awesome video extremely clear instructions concise only feedback I would have is stress that there is only one place the vents can be removed and the necessity to angle the screwdriver up so you are not underneath the latch thinking you were doing it correctly

[@randycole9008]

[@MotorCityMechanic]

There should be a serial number someone on the metal housing of the radio. You will need to remove it again to find it. Then you can try your local dealerships parts department to see if they can help you out with that. If no help then email me at [e-mail]
