How do you change out the factory radio and head unit from a 2000 pontiac montana?

I am in posession of a panasonic cq-vd7005u radio and am trying to install it into my 2000 pontiac montana mini-van. The previous car that it was installed in was unfortunately totaled and now i would like to replace the broken, factory/stock, radio in the van. The headunit is smaller than the current radio so I know i need an adapter box, but it seems as if there are wires missing from the radio, namely a power cord. I dont know if i would need to buy a new set of these, upon looking up manuals online there did not seem to be a power cord in the starting kit. The radio requires a 12V power supply, but before that i need to not only disassemble but remove the current radio.

How do i take apart the factory dashboard of a 2000 montana?

How do i install a panasonic cq-vd7005u into the aforementioned car model and type?



Thank you for any and all responses!How do you change out the factory radio and head unit from a 2000 pontiac montana?
pull out the ashtray (there are some screws down there- two) after removing them that center panel should just pull off (i had one), then there will be three screws in the radio, remove them



to install the new radio you will need a dask kit (to make it fit) and a wiring harness (or you can hardwire it)

Go to Crutchfield.com. I have had great luck there with getting very detailed kits with drawings to clearly show me how to take apart my car without damaging it. They may have a kit for you as well. In the past while I could have save a dollar or three going somewhere else the time they saved me was well worth it. Once you buy you also have techs available for advice via phone etc. They helped me by pointing me to more specific info so I could do a nice custom wiring job on my G6.
