that would be wicked this is the first vl ive owned that has had the org radio in it

Ill Take It Out Al, Ill Bring My Pry Bar And Hammer, Dont Worry I Wont Damage The Radio Cause If I Did That It Wouldn't Look Good In The Bt1

when you coming down scotty

bump anyone ???

All i have to say is GOOD LUCK. It took me 2 hours to get mine out. You gota practicly strip down the whole dash and theres screws in the back.

Yeah, GL with that, it's been sooo long since I've taken mine out I can't remember the trick. Maybe someone should do a tech article if there isn't one already??

well guys i got the fu*er out . what a job neva again lol. this is the aftermarth of it done lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Well at least you got it out in the end Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Any keys might do, just ram them in there! :P Who really wants a second hand cassette player from a VL anyways? Thats why your removing it :P Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i saw one on ebay sell for neally $60 so i guess somone ill keep it and somone might need one. one day lol plans are to put a basic pioneer headunit 2 amps. 2 subs and some good splits

my original tape deck was awsome.. i had a sick 80's tape lol

I did one last week, I didnt have to take the top dash out, just the lower part, I then took out the speedo cluster so I could get to one security screw, then pushed the lower dash down carefully far enough after unhooking the heater temp wire. I then chiselled the other security screw out. If you put a thin knife blade in the middle of the side slots, it should release the radio. Did holden ever think someone was going to steal an SL deck? I actually put a Berlina radio in a car, they sit nice and flat.

i took one out of my bt1 when i had it, what a job ill never do again, i read all the tech articles and they said there was one screw around the side attaching it to the steel case and to put a hacksaw blade down there and saw it off tried and it took ages and it didnt come out so i smashed the **** out of the radio and it came out in a million pieces, then when i looked at the screw it just needed a few more cuts and it would of slide out perfectly, oh well

well i think somone should write a tech article but i wonder how the profess take it out i guessing if the owner dosnt want the org tape deck big hammer and bar lol
