CD console

[dark138]

i m just about ready to have my stock cd console replaced. i really have no idea how the hell you can get the stock cd player to come out. i called honda and they just said you can 'yank' it out from the inside.

i've tried sticking a knife between the edges on the cd panel to undo any locks and nothing is coming off. any ideas guys?

[FIT]

there are instructions you can find.. i think someone has it .. forgot who it is though..

I got my CD console today
anyone come across it?
i just wondering where i can get the screw from to fit the bracket and headunit ,,, etc
also is it easy?

[spoon fit]

step 7 VERY VERY HARD

[petrovski]

getting that bottom part out isnt difficult, you just have to wedge something in and pry it out. It will come out, but it needs some force. Same goes for pulling the whole cd unit out as there are so many of those metal clips. It will come out but with some force.

what about the screw like the screw which screw the mount to the console?

[dark138]

anyone can translate jap?

[TypeG]

lol
that's what i want to know as well coz i can use web translator for picture =(

[dark138]

i never knew that area had so many screws and so complicated

[TypeG]

exactly
if i dun have that diagram, i may just crack anything
lol

[civiceg9]

The diagram doesn't look that hard to do
is alot easier then taking apart a BMW consule

[spoon fit]

anyone want to do it together?

[TypeG]

here mate

[spoon fit]

yeah! can u organize?

[TypeG]

yeah
we can talk in icq or msn

[dark138]

hey i wanna join
but my exams finish on the 26th Nov

[TypeG]

plus u are in sdyney man
is it a bit too far for u?
hahaha

[TypeG]

too boring study for next next week
i went and got my installation done
it is fairly quick job
just took me like 30 mins if u got the right tools
but the sound is so big different than b4 and the stock units is made is china surprisingly which is realy good quality for a stock headunit

[TypeG]

some pic
it is halfly done coz i do it in a hurry as TV and ash light still have to install...http://users.tpg.com.au/yhlau/Jazz/DSCN4317.JPG http://users.tpg.com.au/yhlau/Jazz/DSCN4318.JPG http://users.tpg.com.au/yhlau/Jazz/DSCN4319.JPG

[dark138]

anyone know where you can get the pockets for the left over din?

i went to strathfield car radio
no luck there

[kenshin]

i wanna know too... where you buy the pockets?

[spoon fit]

honda japan

[TypeG]

nope
u can get from Honda here
Toyota or else

[spoon fit]

universal meh?

[TypeG]

that's what i been told but should be since the din size is standard anyway
and the screw to mount should be the same since all headunit size and mount are the same too

[spoon fit]

yes, standard..forgot..

[dark138]

well i went to strathfield car radio in artamon.sydney
the guy was like

Him: "we have pockets for nissans and madza, but not sure about hondas"
Me: "Can't you just open one and see if it will fit into the console?"
Him: "its in a package"

so i didn't ask... so that pocket should be the same?

btw, i CAN"T get the stock one to come off, bloddy hell.
i followed the picutures to right where you take off the bottom of the console, the aircon switches. then it says to remove 2 screws somewhere up. have no idea where the screws are.
any ideas?

[TypeG]

have u got the diagram?
if yes, it is really straight forward
for the screws, u need some TOOLS to help since it is locate very deep.
u can see it but u may not about to touch with with normal screw driver

[dc]

heres what i conjured up (http://members.optusnet.com.au/xdc/img_diy/132_3281s.jpg)

pretty dodgy but better than a hole

[TypeG]

that's good enough
where u get that from?

[spoon fit]

Hi guys, not quite in your hemisphere, but this looks like the best tech resource site! :wave:

Spoon Fit - any chance of reposting your instructions, I spent a while tring to get the cassette/ radio off the car yesterday to add a cd changer, but I gave up! :honda:

Can somebody help please - the car is in a million bits (changer going in glove box) but the centre radio console is still there. Are there screws to come out somewhere that I cant see?

Thanks in anticipation :confused:

Thanks, I cant read Japanese, but that looks clear enough. I dont think I'll need to remove the HVAC cables though, as I just need to plug in the protocol adaptor into the head unit.

:wave: ;)
