Do yourself a favor and go to Wally Mart and buy a removal/install kit. It comes with a plastic tool to pry off the trim, wire strippers, screw driver w/all the heads you'll need and wire connectors.

Kind of like this one: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_142TK12...it.html?tp=990

After you remove the trim you just take off the screws that hold the stock radio in and remove. It's pretty easy. (assuming yours is like mine)

Hopefully your ordered the install kit and wiring harness when you ordered your new headunit. If you did....you just match up and connect the wires on the headunit to the wires on the new harness and it's plug and play.

Let us know if you need any help.

LOL...I wish I knew. It was the only kit I could find a link to show the OP what I was talking about. My kit didn't have that meter it just had some sort of test light.

It is a multi-meter. You can use it to test voltage and continuity.

Question and I'm not trying to be a smart ***. But if you can't tell the difference visually between an oscilloscope and a multimeter, how do you think it's going to help you tune your system?
