Do you have to remove the entire dash just to get to it?

Does anyone here have any experience with Hyundai Accents?

you have to unhook the climate controls from underneath the drivers side dash and from behind the glove box to get the radio trim bezel out. the accents genuinely reek to put decks in properly

Defro is right, climate controls have to disconnected, also you need to isomount the deck to make it look good.

^ Agreed except that 'look good' is on a sliding scale

I had one guy bitch about it being iso mounted. Well, I found out that day that a standard DIN can will fit right into the opening in the trim. Looked marginal to me but the owner thought it was great [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

And watch out for the paint on the bezels and doors, if you even look at it wrong, it will come off leaving the customer whining about it to you.

The best part bout the accent is gathering up the bezel clips that really love to fall into the split in the carpet when the bezel is removed

Yup, that worked. I had to disconnect 3 climate control cables and then remove 2 screws from the ashtray. I pulled out the plastic and all the metal clips fell off but at least I got to remove the stereo.

Luckily I found enough of the clips to put it back together again. They really should stop using clips and just stick with screws.

The climate controls for sure will need to be disconnected and the screws below the retrackable cup holder.

In the sense of iso-mounting, American International had a kit that gives you clips that help you with the mount. works really good and very clean. The part# is HYN-K1109

Give that a try!!
