How do I Replace the CD Player in a 1999 Toyota Camry?
- 1). Lift the hood of the Camry and disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery. Loosen the cable's clamp with a 10-mm wrench and lift the cable from the battery post. Set the cable aside until the replacement is complete.
- 2). Pull the ashtray from the dashboard. Grab the bottom edge of the plastic dash panel that surrounds the stereo and climate control panel and pull it away from the dashboard.
- 3). Remove the four screws at the corners of the stereo bracket with a 10-mm socket and drive. Slide the stereo from the dashboard stereo dock to access the wiring connectors at the back of the unit. Unplug the two plastic connectors and unplug the antenna cable.
- 4). Slide the Toyota aftermarket stereo faceplate adapter into the vacant stereo dock. Push the kit into the dock until it snaps into pace. Replace the four screws into the corners of the adapter with the socket and drive. Pull the stereo wiring and antenna cable from the back of the mounting dock.
- 5). Plug the stereo wiring connectors into the lead connectors of the wiring harness adapter. Plug the adapter's leads into the corresponding outlets on the back of the new CD player. Plug the antenna cable lead into the FM antenna outlet on the rear panel of the new unit. Slide the CD player into the faceplate adapter until it snaps into place.
- 6). Align the top edge of the trim panel with the top of the stereo bracket and press the bottom of the panel to meet the dashboard. Press firmly against the panel to snap iot back into place. Replace the ashtray. Return to the Toyota's battery.
- 7). Place the negative battery cable clamp over the negative battery post. Tighten the cable's clamp to the post with the wrench. Close the Camry's hood.
