This How-to is based of the 2006 Toyota Corolla LE Step 1. Disconnect battery lead because of air bag sensors [Note: you WILL lose all of your radio presets…so you might want to write them down before moving forward.] Step 2. Pop off trim around shifter stick (I just lifted it up form the bottom with my finger nails) Step 3. Disconnect the Aux power, (not necessary, but it gets stuff out of the way) it just pulls right off Step 4. Remove center knob on the A/C panel (Just pull it straight out). Remove Phillips screw behind the knob this is the only screw that has to come out (in addition to the 4 radio screws) Step 5. Pull the a/c console forward. It’s a tight fit but it’s only held by clips. This was the most difficult part for me because I didn’t want to break anything. It eventually released after pulling with constant pressure. I found that pulling from the inside of the knob helped allot. Once the top part was off, pulling from the right edge of the console released the rest of it. Step 6. Disconnect these 4 Cables. Once you have done so the whole center console comes right out (make sure that the car is in neutral or else the shifter will be in the way and you won’t be able to take out the center console.) (I don’t think this step is necessary but again, it gives you more room to work and the doesn’t take any time at all to do so) (What it looks like then the shifter plate and the center console are removed)

Starting in 1995, the family style radios, as well as the 12-disc LLAI and 6-disc LLAI (Low Level Audio Interface) changers and the 10-disc FMI (FM Interface) changers, have error codes to help diagnose playback mediums. Some systems will only have an ERR message and no other indicator. If an ERR message is encountered without any other identifier, you may review the following error codes to try to determine the cause of the error and correct it before sending the unit to the authorized service center. If ERR or E (and a number) appears on a customer’s radio display, the number may give you a clue to the problem and corrective action. Below is a list of code numbers that may appear on the unit. Important: Not all family radios have these codes. They are dependent on the model year. Cassette Errors • E10 or TIGHT TAPE: Tight tape error Cause(s): A restricted cassette tape transport or broken cassette drive belt Correction: Substitute a different cassette tape. If there still is an error code, service the unit at an ACDelco® Service Center. • E11 or BROKEN TAPE: Broken Tape Error Cause(s): A broken cassette tape Correction(s): Substitute a different cassette tape • E12 : Communication Error
