Need help getting to Radio in XG
I have a 2003 XG 350L and just bought a CD changer and need access to the
back of the stereo. Anyone know where the plug is on the radio, what side and how to get access to it easiest? Bought a unit that is supposed to just plug into the current system but I dont see the easiest way to get access to the back. jbd |

You'll have to remove the radio. I think the center panel may just pull
out, but I can't remember for certain. Check around the ashtray for screws. Also check to see if the trim on top of the console is in your way. I don't think it is on the XG, but I'm having trouble visualizing the interior. If the center dash trim panel is in two pieces, you'll probably have to remove the lower first and, if you need to remove the upper, check for two screws at the bottom of the upper panel. Once the necessary trim panels are out of the way, there are four screws holding in the radio. |

There's a real good reason car radio installation places are doing so well - it's because as cars have gotten smaller it has become exceedingly difficult to do the removal/installs yourself. Can you do it? Almost certainly. Do you have the tools? Maybe, maybe not. Most cars don't use regular slotted or phillips screws anymore; for the most part they use Torx head type screws, meaning you'll be buying tools for this one-time use. My experience is these smaller cars is that you end up having to rip out half the dash to get to the radio, and it almost always takes john q. public three times as long to do this as a pro-installer. Save yourself a headache, the cost of tools you'll likely never use again and scraped knucles. Have an installer help you out. |

It's rather easy in this car if you can figure it out. All the screws are
phillips. Easily a job for the run-of-the-mill DIYer. |
