2007 Suburban CD player HELP ...?

Question

We have a 2007 Chevy Suburban and would like to take the cd player consol out to hook up speakers. We can't get the faceplate off to get behind it.

Anyone know how to do this???

Thanks!

Well, my wife has an older Suburban, but I have looked at it and will guess it's probably not too far off. Typically, newer cars are more aware of fit and finish, so they find ways to hide every s***w and bolt they can. It's a guess mind you, but I'm betting that you are going to have to open the doors. The lower dash will be attached by a few screws on each side, hidden when the doors are closed. once you remove them, you will usually find some more screws under the dash, and even in the glovebox. Once you have all that off, you will probably find the screws for the head unit tucked away. Remove them and it will slide out (depending on how much wire they gave before you have to disconnect them, of course) I've had several cars 1999 and newer, and they've all been a setup like this.  

My recommendation, either go to a site like crutchfield that offers assistance to do-it-yourself types, or save the headache and pay a local shop.
