| 524695 | 2007-02-14 22:03:00 | This may sound like a dumb question, but how do you remove/pull outt the radio in a car? I have a Jap import car, and so the FM radio only goes up to 90MHz. I am going to fit a band expander, but I am unsure about how to remove the unit from its place. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!! |

| 524696 | 2007-02-14 22:31:00 | Do you need to remove the radio to get at the aerial socket? You might get more replies if you include some more details, all Jap imports aren't the same brand. |

| 524697 | 2007-02-14 22:32:00 | Prob need to know the model of the car. Generally just pull of the face surround, revealing screws, or the frame that you need to push something along the sides off to press some tabs in or something. Pics may be of assistance too. |

| 524698 | 2007-02-14 22:50:00 | There have been questions like this asked here before if you want to do a search. Otherwise, as the others have said, provide make and model and someone may be able to help. | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 524699 | 2007-02-14 22:51:00 | A silly answer to a sensible question. Leave the car in a downtown carpark, with the window open for an hour. That should do it. PJ:lol: :rolleyes: |

| 524700 | 2007-02-14 22:58:00 | Oops! Sorry bout the lack of detals. I cant get pics (don't hav a camera handy) but the car is a toyota carolla II 1993 model (hatch). The radio is the standard unit that was probably there when the car rolled off the assembly line. it looks like it is in a standard radio/cd/tape deck bay. Hope this helps. |

| 524701 | 2007-02-14 23:33:00 | Normally screws under the the panel surrounding the radio - including the ash tray. Once removed then there is normally 4 screws into the dash holding the whole radio assembly. | sam m (517) | ||
| 524702 | 2007-02-15 00:24:00 | Hmmm. I cant see any way of how I can remove it. the front panel doesnt seem to come off (or at least i cant seem to get it off), and im not all that interested in trying to remove the dash surrounds myself. With this in mind, I may just take to someplace and let people who know what they are doing see to the job - whether I get them to fit a band expander or put a new stereo in depends on how exspensive things are... Anyone know of where I could go to do this in Palmerston North? Thanks for the info given though. ------------------------ You can tell that I don't really know much about cars. computers yes, cars no. |

| 524703 | 2007-02-15 00:27:00 | Car dashboards are constructed in such a way that obvious ways of removing a radio result in a large heap of car parts surrounding the triumphant person clutching the radio. How to put it all back together is non-obvious. | Graham L (2) | ||
