VE Aftermarket Headunit Removal

[Jackson928]

Hey

I recently purchased a VE Commodore and it has the Aerpro aftermarket fascia kit installed.

I want to change the headunit to a new one but not sure how to remove the headunit from the fascia kit.

Any help is appreciated thanks.

You’ll work it out from this. The old “removal is a reversal of the installation” trick.

Yes this, I just did mine. Despite having a trade background these youtube vids make the process very easy. Especially the thermistor mounting technique, which is quite frankly a PITA...

Just make sure if you plan a subwoofer/reverse cam in future you wire those up while you do the headunit and leave them coiled somewhere, you'll thank your future self...

Just reread your post - you want to remove the radio.

You need two little "keys" made out of sheet metal about 6mm wide that slide into the middle of the side of the radio which latch the stainless spring back so you can pull the radio out.

If I was a courteous installer I would leave them in the glovebox or center console
