There is a Reatta section under Buick just below here. They can answer all of your questions......

Brian,

I guess you need to do a search of past posts. At the top of the page, click on "Search". When you get to the seach site:

1) click on the Reatta Forum on the left side

2) type in the words, in quotation marks "cd player"

3) below that is a time period, make it "newer than one year"

That should get you where you need to go.

if You have recieved any info on the CD player removal, you don't have to read on.

I had to remove one once to clean it. First you must remove the storage compartment insert in the arm rest by pulling it straight up. It is cliped in. There should be two bolts under the lip towars the front of the compartmant insert that holds the rear of the center section down. Remove those. Take the shifter knob off by pullin the pin in the front of the knob. That should just come right off by pulling it. I say should because nothing ever goes right for me with any of my cars. The center section comes up. There are only clips holding in there, but I would pull gentlyvery hard to replce if you brake it. This should expose the two bolts that hold the center storage under the CD player into the Dash. Remove thoes. Again that is held in by clips, pull gently. Once that is removed you will need a 10 or an 11 mil wrench (preferably box end)to get the nuts that are on top of the CD player. Remove those. The CD player should come right out. Remember how the harneses hook up. They only go in one whay, but I would pay close attention how they went in. To relpace the CD player follow the steps in reverse order. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
