Removing factory radio from EK

**markoJEK1** · 27-11-2007 06:02 PM

Hey guys, as title states, tryna remove the factory radio/casett player haha, I cant work out where to start, I cant see no clips on side to eject the unit as some of today's more modern ones, nor any screws or anything holding them from what I could see around the back of the dash. So anyone that has replaced their quite historic player with a new headunit, let me know how you got it out

, thanks

theres only 2 screws under the back of the stereo...
pull your ashtray and bottom center console out and you have more then enough room to access the 2 screws and push the tape deck out

i recently had to access the back of the headunit to run RCA's as I changed my audio setup. The EK is a pain in the arse... had to remove the glovebox, and also the panel under the steering column just to get to 4 screws holding the centre console...

furthermore once u get it all out, you have very little space to move your hand up to find the screws holding the headunit in place (as its at the back)
