Double din stereo removal

Post by hawko » Wed Sep 14, 2022 9:53 pm

Hi all,

So ive finally decided its time to change out the Japanese stereo for something that will give me more than R2 :lol:

So, i've got the two plastic side panel parts off but dont really see any obvious places you'd slide removal keys into, or in my case a selection of thin screw drivers.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I did find this other post around the same issue, but not sure if i need to dig into removing bits like that describes if there should be proper removal key holes im meant to use?

Any pointers very much appreciated!

I'll likely have more follow up questions once i get it out but lets start here :)

Thanks for that, gives a good view of whats there. So do you think I need to actually remove those side plates, or is there meant to be some way for me to unclip them to release it?

No use a release tool or small screwdrivers to press the spring bits in top and bottom each side parts 66-AC5.
