Just bought a GME 4400 UHF Radio and want to install it under the CD player of A 2004 RA Rodeo.

Anyone know how to remove the front facia to get to the cradles without breaking anything??

Thanks

Bruce

Peter,

Thanks for that, saved me $140.00 getting it installed by the professionals.

Simple mate. Use a medium blade screwdriver and gently pry around the panel until it comes out. First though slide out your ashtray. Once you have it out simply unplug the 4wd and hazard light plugs and the whole thing will come out. You can probably use the bracket holding in the plastic tray to secure the radio. This is what I did when I fitted my Pioneer DVD player and separate screen. Worked a treat. You can run your power and antenna wires down to the firewall and through one of the plugs on either side of the engine bay. Simply poke a phillips head screwdriver through the plug to make a hole. When the wire is poked through it will seal the hole effectively watertight.
Hope this helps.
Cheers Brad
