Removing the door panel (sorry no pics)
1. Remove the 1 screw holding the plastic triangle piece by the side mirror. That piece will just pop off.
2. Pop off the door lock indicator. Can be a little tricky but it just pops off.
3. Remove the 3 big screws. 2 are in the arm rest area. The 3rd is under the handle you grab to close the door. It is kind of angled upwards. I believe the firebirds may also have a 4th big screw at the bottom of the door panel near the map holder area.
4. Remove the black plastic trim that goes around the handle and holds the switches. To do this remove the screw behind the handle and the screw angled upward near where the 3rd big screw was in step 3. Pop the piece loose enough to reach behind it and unplug the wiring harnesses. Some people like to pop out the smaller plastic piece that holds the switches first but I like to leave it in as the clips tend not to go back on as tight. Once the harnesses are unplugged you can remove the piece by twisting it to clear the door handle.
5. Now the door panel is ready to come off. It lifts up and out...not straight out. It has "j" hooks molded as part of the door panel and if you try to pull the door panel straight out you'll break the hooks making it impossible to keep the panel secure. It may be a little tight to move it up at first. I prefer to grab the panel near the weathestripping at the top of the door and pull it up and out just enough to unhook it from the top part of the door frame. This then gives you a good place to pull the rest of the panel up.
6. Installation is the opposite.

To program features, the car must be in programming mods.
1) Turn key to RUN position.
2) Turn key to OFF position.
3) Remove the RADIO fuse in the main fuse panel.
5) Turn the key to ACC
You should hear a chime to verify that the system is in the programming mode.

MODE 1 All Off. (The head lights will not flash and the horn will not sound)
MODE 2 Horn and Lamps/Lamps (Your horn will sound and your parking lights will flash when you press the LOCK button on the transmitter. Only the parking lamps will flash when you press UNLOCK)
MODE 3 Horn and Lamps (Your horn will sound and the parking lamps will flash every time you press LOCK or UNLOCK)
MODE 4 Lamps (The parking lamps will flash when you press LOCK or UNLOCK)
MODE 5 Lamps/Horn and Lamps (Lamps will flash on the first press on LOCK, your lamps will flash and the horn will sound on the second press on LOCK and the lamps will flash any time you press UNLOCK)
THEFT-DETERENT VERIFICATION

1) Press the UNLOCK switch on the door.
2) Count the number of chimes
3) Press the UNLOCK switch on the door until you are in the mode you want.

When programming is done, turn the ignition to OFF and replace the RADIO fuse.
How to enable Theftloc and disable it if you have the code.
"Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCK® is designed to discourage theft of the radio. THEFTLOCK® works by using a secret code to disable all radio functions whenever battery power is removed.
The THEFTLOCK® feature for the radio may be used or ignored. If ignored, the system plays normally and the radio is not protected by the feature. If THEFTLOCK® is activated, the radio will not operate if stolen.
When THEFTLOCK® is activated, the radio will display LOC to indicate a locked condition anytime battery power has been interrupted. If the battery loses power for any reason, the radio must be unlocked with the secret code before the radio will operate.
Activating the Theft-Deterrent Feature
The instructions that follow explain how to enter the secret code to activate the THEFTLOCK® system. Read through all nine steps before starting the procedures.
If you allow more than 15 seconds to elapse between any steps, the radio automatically reverts to the time and you must start the procedure over at step 4.
Write down any three or four digit number from 000 to 1999.
Turn the ignition to ACC or RUN.
Turn the radio off.
Press the 1 and 4 buttons together. Hold them down until - - - shows on the display. Next use the secret code number which you have written down.
Press MN and 000 will appear on the display.
Press MN again to make the last two digits agree with your code.
Press HR to make the first one or two digits agree with your code.
Press AM-FM after you have confirmed that the code matches the secret code you have written down. The display will show REP to let you know that you need to repeat steps 5 through 7 to confirm your secret code.
Press AM-FM and this time the display will show SEC to let you know that your radio is secure. The LED indicator by the volume control will begin flashing when the ignition is turned off.
Unlocking The Theft-Deterrent Feature After a Power Loss
Enter the secret code as follows; pause no more than 15 seconds between steps:
Turn the ignition on. LOC will appear on the display.
Press MN and 000 will appear on the display.
Press MN again to make the last two digits agree with your code.
Press HR to make the first one or two digits agree with your code.
Press AM-FM after you have confirmed that the code matches the secret code that is written down. The display will show SEC, indicating the radio is now operable and secure. If the wrong code is entered eight times, INOP will appear on the display. You will have to wait an hour with the ignition on before you can try again. When you try again, you will only have three chances to enter the correct code before INOP appears.
Disabling the Theft-Deterrent Feature
Enter the secret code as follows; pause no more than 15 seconds between steps:
Turn the ignition to ACC or RUN.
Turn the radio off.
Press the 1 and 4 buttons together. Hold them down until SEC shows on the display.
Press MN and 000 will appear on the display.
Press MN again to make the last two digits agree with the code.
Press HR to make the first one or two digits agree with the code.
Press AM-FM after you have confirmed that the code matches the secret code that is written down. The display will show - - -, indicating that the radio is no longer secured. If the code entered is incorrect, SEC will appear on the display. The radio will remain secured until the correct code is entered. "
IT IS POSSIBLE YOU HAVE A MONSOON SYSTEM EVEN IF YOUR HEAD UNIT DOES NOT SAY "MONSOON"
