Advice on removal of S2 Clarion Stereo?

Post by elise1970 » Tue Apr 17, 2007 5:07 pm

Does anyone have a copy of the above that i could scan/ photcopy please?

getting an amp fitted and the chap fitting it wants to check one or two things out...(apart from the fact that the fuel tank is behind the seats!!!)

Cheers :D

Thanks guys...great help!

quick dumbass question....is there a special tool needed to get the head unit out?

We tried for an hour and it wouldn't budge!!

Installation dude wanted to check out the back of it to find out what amp would be compatible.....without success!

I tried the Clarion link but it doesn't list the DB318RB as it's too old! Thanks anyway Bertie (again!) :D

Sorry to be a pest :D

I am sure i could get it out for beer


unless you want it to work when it goes back


And before anyone else sayes it AN AMP IN AN ELISE are you mad?

and the sensible comment is if the guy installing an amp don't know how to get the stereo out are you sure you want him to be working on your car

Agree with thinfourth - if the dude cant remove a stereo, how is he going to run power cables from the battery in the boot to the headunit and make it tidy, as thats a bit trickier than removing the HU!
