I need to get to the back of my stereo on my 02 TA to plug in my direct adapter for my sirius radio. What is the best way to get to the back of the radio.

 

the whole plastic trim piece around the radio comes off just by pulling it (around the vents and all that). then there are are a few bolts around the radio mounting hardware, and thats all there is to taking it out.

 

Yep its really that easy.

 

Easiest way I can think of is 6oz of C4 explosive tucked under the center console. A bit hard to put back again, tho. lol

 

Its in the sticky.

It only takes around 5-10 minutes to remove the HU

 

wait a minute here.... does the stock HU even HAVE a direct plug for xm or sirius radio?

may its a stupid question, but, i just assumed it didnt.

 

No.
You can use an adapter though.
For example, a PIE GM9-AUX will convert the CD-Changer port into RCA AUX-IN, but that will only work with headunits that can actually control the stock CD-Changer (98+ tape players, 2000+ CD Players, some mid/late-99 CD players)
