Step-by-Step Instructions
Follow these steps to wire your Nissan Hardbody radio:
Step 1: Disconnect the Negative Battery Cable
Before you start working on your radio, disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent any electrical shock.

To remove the old radio, you’ll need to unscrew the dash panel surrounding the radio, disconnect the wiring harnesses and antenna, and slide the radio out of its housing. Be sure to note which wires were connected to which harness.
