With the bracket assembly out, you need to remove the old car stereo from it. It will be held together by a set of screws, usually in the side of the unit. Remove these screws and the old stereo should slide right out.

If your stereo sits atop a coin tray, you may or may not have to remove the tray at the same time. Don't worry if you take it off and then realize you didn't have to. As long as you don't break anything it'll go back with ease.

You might ask yourself, how do I plug my mp3 player into my car? Easy.
