VC Factory radio

[Shifty1]

Hey guys

Pick up my new VC tomorrow! YAY! Now, I need a guide to remove the factory AM radio.. im assuming its differnt to a VK.

Any guides?

[Tasmaniak]

erm... actualy it's pretty similar

[Shifty1]

Alright, im stuck.. ANYONE know how to remove it? I tried searching.. got no results! im DESPERATE!

[VS Omega]

There's two clips on the left and right which need to be pushed in to get it out, recommend using a coat-hanger and bending into a U shape, then keep pushing it in and pulling it out on the left and right hand sides simultaneously while pulling on the unit.. should do the trick

[Shifty1]

Cheers mate.. will tackle it tomorrow!

[Shifty1]

Got it out!

Wasn't hard at all.. now I need the wiring colour codes for it.. off to google

hey guys just got a vk (first car) n i need a hand getting the radio out its all busted n the release latches r gone is there a way 2 remove it without taking the console apart??
thanx

You can try wiggling it out mate? sometimes the heat can make it stick.

Or u could try feeling around for the screws against the metal frame of the player..

Just suggestions Outcast

If u need anything copy'd from the gregs manual let me know shifty1

i think with the vk's you have to pull out the ashtray and there is a screw that goes into the bottom of the radio not 100% but worth a look

[VRSS]

yeah with the VK's theres a bolt at the back of the stock radio holding it in.

[OutCast]

thanx again n i done it all lol now need speakers......much appreciated

[Goon]

Make sure u buy the right speaker watts for the system, dont wanna overload it!

Then again i had a 250w speaker to a 40w cd player i my old ute, worked for 3 months util u couldnt read the screen no more.. drained the power hard with spotlights on

[Shifty1]

Your probably better off re-wiring for your cd player, to ensure good earthing etc..
