Thread: Removing original LR stereo

Does yours have two or four little holes in the face?

If four, then all you need to do is poke coathanger wire down there to release the locks.

thanks frenchie, mine has 4 holes

For the record some (mine included) have a vertical slot either side.

I used a reasonably stout piece of steel to depress the tabs which are located about 25mm in from the face of the radio. I was able to do one side at a time pulling out each side free of the tab and then the whole unit came out.

I did this last weekend to install a handsfree phone unit.

Yep, just bend up a bit of wire and poke it in there

Mine (Defender) had two holes with little screws in them. 8O

We use four nails of about 3 mm diameter, then use a screwdiver down the vent on the top of the dash to gently lever the radio forwards and out.

thanks guys.... the jobs done......easy as pie when you know how
