    Default VT S-1 factory stereo upgrade questions.

    Just wondering how easy it is to swap out a factory series-1 vt tape/radio for a factory cd player from the later vt-vx range? I was also wondering what size the factory speakers are in the doors of the vt's, and wether they have factory locations for speakers in the parcel shelf?
    Cheers.

    I couldn't imagine it being very hard, even putting in more complex DVD players and stuff isn't really a hard task for anyone with half a brain and a little bit of time. If you have the wiring diagram all you have to do is match the wires.

    If you have the stock double din unit i think you would have, Using a coat hanger cut it in half, insert it into the two holes on either side of the head unit and the unit with come out.

    You can buy a loom adapter so no wires need cutting. you also can buy plastic pockets which will fill the extra space after you install a normal head unit.

    Its such an easy job.

    Thanks guys, i appreciate the help. I'm deciding wether or not to just get a new aftermarket head unit or a factory one out of an upper spec vt-vx. If it's no more work to fit an aftermarket one then i'll just do that.
