Removing the origional deck is a tough job, I myself have never done it But I have had to do something similar, as the previous owners had GLUED a Kenwood deck into it when they had it changed over, had to get right round the back use glue solvent on it.
Back on topic, make sure the power cables aren't caught on something, and I think there is a rivit screw somewhere near the rear on the left hand side, you can't really get to it so you can drill it out fine. But you should double check before you drill anything out. |

No disrespect formula but i would not be cutting the wiring unless you are completely rewiring your stereo system. The main reasons are if you want to put the old deck in when you sell your pride and joy and also it is much easier to leave the origional plug in the car if you aren't rewiring. You can buy adapters from such places as Supercheap/Autobarn that you can use. They solder/crimp onto the harness of the new deck and just plug straight into the origional system. These adapters sell for around $15-$20. Alternatively most audio supplyers (Alpine/Pioneer/etc, etc) sell adapters that will plug straight into your car no solder/crimp required but are a little more pricey. Last time i priced one they were around the $50 mark.
Completely off topic but had to add my 2 cents worth. |
What's the difference between understeer and oversteer?
Understeer is when the driver is scared.
Oversteer is when the passenger is scared. |

ur right, get the specific plugs or adaptors, do not cut the wires.
Also, I checked for the alpine plug, ur looking at an extra $40, but its worth it if you dont know what you are doing

Only specific brands make them formula, when you buy your deck next time, let them know ur model car and if u got a plug or not, and they'll hook you up.
Half the time if you dont mention something, they wont bring it up unles they know ur car type. |
