Removing Stereo 101

[Rickzayne]

I used a steal coat hanger and cut it up, or you can not be cheap and buy a removal key from Halfords xD


push them in quite far and give them a bit of a jiggle on the way in and it should release, the stereo should just slide out nicely



As you can see the main cable on the left the 'bumper' in the middle (which you might need for your new stereo) and then the white aerial



Insert the cage for your new stereo



Follow this Guide for wiring up the stereo with the adapters for stalks, reverse sensors ect.

And then you end up with that mess of wire you need to stuff down to the right side to get your stereo in.

****THE BLUE WIRE FROM THE ARIEL ADAPTER PLUGS IN TO YOUR AMP REM FROM YOUR STEREO****
If you don't the signal is weak and you won't get AM or MW



Job DONE!:cool:

[WTF]

Sorry to bump the thread as it's that old, but it's the first picture I've come across where you can see it properly (5th picture from top). I've read it's better for signal connecting the radio to the amp.

If so, do you strip the wire from the stereo power cable to join them up properly?

Not relevant now but mine had a joint connector with 2 screws
