Removing the standard double din headunit
« on: June 12, 2009, 06:30:01 pm »
Hey guys and gals

I've bought a new aftermarket Alpine double din unit for the 30 got the canbus,fitting kit and surround. But was wondering how you go about taking the original unit out?! :confused: My mate has got trim tools if these are needed?!


Thanks in Advance

One tip for you toast, if you remove the wire for the airbag light near the centre vents don't turn on the ignition without plugging it back in first or it will trigger an airbag fault warning on the dash  :smiley:
