    lol.

    you will need a head unit removal tool, to take the head-unit out. Go to Jaycar or somewhere similar to grab one. If you are putting a single DIN head-unit in, than you will need to get a pocket to mount beneath it, to fill the hole the standard POS came out of.

    Do a search and someone will have covered the topic already in more detail.

    Don't need a removal tool, just a couple of U-shaped bits of stiff wire to poke into the holes on either side

    Also, get a Pioneer - VX Commodore wiring harness adapter, and get a smart friend to solder the appropriate wires together. That way you can just plug it into your original harness, and straight into the stereo with minimal fiddling.


    The VX is a VERY easy install if you're just doing a head unit and if you get the wiring harness.

    The installers can keep mine. All the installers were men.
