charles28 117 Report post Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) Hi Guys, Today I purhased a new headunit with USB/MP3 Support. I got a El Cheapo Panasonic one as the car already has a Panasonic Head Unit Fitted (old ish one, with tape Deck, but has CD Stacker controller). The problem I have is that I can't remove the old headunit, have made a real mess of the thing trying to get it out. even tried using the thin metal keys that came with new headunit. but theres no where to put them, the metal cage doesn't seem to have the usual part where you can put these. I did have the faceplate removed when i was trying to take the Headunit out. All i have suceeded in doing is munting up the metal around the headunit. I've installed plenty of headunits in my time, amps, subs, speakers etc.. so i'm not trying to be a total noob or anything.. Usually the thin metal keys can slide down the left and right side of the cage where the headunit sits, then it should be able to slide out..

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted June 21, 2009 Its a bit of a mess now...I would have shot it down to a local sterio installer. I'm sure they would have gotten it out for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 34 Report post Posted June 21, 2009 Remove the covers from inside the glovebox, then you can get to the top and that side of the cage and maybe bend the tabs on the cage so you can slide the whole works out, cage and all. Without actually having a look at it from in the car, I can't help more than that. It'll be a fairly simple clip arrangement, but there are 3 or 4 types.

Cool, I did that, accessed it from the glove compartment, found that there were pieces of metal jammed down the side, someone had done a real dodgy install thats for sure. but its sorted now, mp3 headunit is now fitted at working. Now I need some decent front speakers, they sound muddy and crap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
