Headunit Access

[chenks]

ok guys, just received my dension ipod kit

all it requires me to do is plug a cable into the cd changed port at the back.

so what is the easiest way of getting to this without destroying my dashboard.

i plan to fit the rest of the kit in the glovebox area, as it's nice and close to the headunit anyway.

my advice would be to take your time fitting it but it is eay to get you radio out to plug it in

[chenks]

i believe it does involve removing certain sections of the console though to get to it ?

[p11p]

just follow the pics, start by removing ash tray and then gear cover, undo the two screws at each side, pull the centre heater control off if you have one, if not it should remove straight away.

their is then 4 screws holding the radio in position loosing these and your radio will unplug then you will be able to fit it

sounds easy enough... i'm sure i'll end up with a cardboard dashboard at the end of it !

[chenks]

jus want to make sure because to connect2 kit i got was suppose to fit, but it didnt!!! whats the sound quality like. I notice that the model of your headunit is W58818. Mine is W58814. wonder if it has the same ports. Does the rear of our headunit look like this?

sorry about size of picture :(

Which of those sockets has something attached to it in yours?

others have 1 row of 7 and 1 row of 5

[Guest]

any chance you can take some pics of the rear of your headunit and with the kit connected before you but it all back together?

My tip is :

When you pull the centre console out (one with the climate / temperature control buttons) put a cloth/duster etc on top of it, otherwise you might scratch the plastic when the stereo comes out.

Opps bit late to add reply, but oh well...

If your still stuck, click on my signature and have a look

[chenks]

ok have hit first snag

have removed the centre console... but there aren't any screws visible holding in the headunit

i have what this image shows

[Guest]

there are four screws underneath the headunit

[p11p]

you might have to take out the heater vents as well, if you do they are just clipped in so they should be easy to remove

[chenks]

ah... 4 bolts (rathers than screws)

i have got the front 2 out.. but the back 2, my ratchet is about 1inch too short to reach them !! arghh!!
