Car Radio

[ant]

Hi, I want to replace the car radio in my 96 surf but can't for the life of me see how to get the old ones out. I have a cassette radio fitted above a cd player but the fascia seems to be one solid piece from the ash tray all the way up to the dash. Apart from dismantling the whole of the dash, is there an easy way of doing it or shall I just pay the extra £30.00 and get the nice man at Halfords to do it. BTW the electrics wouldn't be a problem.

Cheers

Ant.

Brilliant, thanks a million, I knew Halfords were charging money for old rope, I mean £30.00 to fit a radio that they've just sold you and £2.99 to fit a pair of wiper blades!! Honestly.

Cheers

Go to it mate, it's not as bad as it seems. Just be prepared to bit of fiddling to get a really neat installation (I'm a bit anal about that kind of thing, it's got to be right)

Bought the radio, will go to it on Saturday. Probably not the elusive 5 minute job but hopefully I'll be finished before dusk

I'm completely mechanically inept and it took me less than an hour !

All done and no probs apart from the difference in connectors. Decided to ident and solder rather than go back to Halfords to find an adapter.
Sounding good.
PS: Is there any way to easily find my old posts without having to search the forum?
