How to Install a Car Stereo in a Honda HR-V49

Installing a car stereo in a Honda HR-V is a relatively simple process that can be completed in a few hours. By following these step-by-step instructions, you can save yourself the time and expense of having it professionally installed.

Tools and Materials You'll Need:* New car stereo
* Wire strippers
* Electrical tape
* Phillips head screwdriver
* Trim removal tool
* Soldering iron and solder (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:
Disconnect the battery. This is an important safety precaution that should always be taken before working on any electrical system. To disconnect the battery, locate the negative terminal (usually black) and use a wrench to loosen the nut. Once the nut is loose, remove the cable from the terminal.
Remove the trim panel. The trim panel around the stereo is held in place by clips. Use a trim removal tool to gently pry the clips loose and remove the panel.
Remove the old stereo. The stereo is held in place by four screws. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the screws and carefully pull the stereo out of the dash.
Disconnect the wiring harness. The wiring harness is connected to the back of the stereo. Use your fingers to gently squeeze the tabs on the harness and pull it apart.
Connect the wiring harness to the new stereo. The wiring harness should have color-coded wires that correspond to the wires on the back of the new stereo. Connect the wires by matching the colors.
Secure the new stereo in place. Slide the new stereo into the dash and tighten the four screws to secure it.
Replace the trim panel. Snap the trim panel back into place over the stereo.
Reconnect the battery. Locate the negative battery terminal and tighten the nut to reconnect the battery.
Test the new stereo. Turn on the stereo to make sure it is working properly.

Tips:* If you are not comfortable soldering wires, you can use electrical tape to insulate the connections.
* Be careful not to overtighten the screws when securing the stereo in place, as this could damage the stereo or the dash.
* If you are having any trouble installing the new stereo, consult with a qualified professional.
