fitting new head unit

[golfmk31993]

i just bought a new sony head unit, im going to fit it myself but i cant figure out how to get the old sony tape player out,
is there a special way to rmove it???

go down to your local steroe place they will have tools for the job, you will damage the dash if you have not done it before and dont have the tools (two l shaped peices of metal with notches in)

halfords can help most likely?

Yeah Halfords will definitely have the tool you need.

other thing. the amount of wires at the back may need to remove the glove box to pull all the wires round aint much room at the back of the stereo

ive fitted my new one now   

i just pulled the old sony tape player and it came straight out,

then i plugged in the new one and just stuffed all the wires down a hole at the back untill it fit in all the way properly,

sounds alot beter but i need new speakers, the ones in the dash fart wen i turn the volume up too much and the door speakers arnt wired up, (they were never wired up since i bought the car).

wot size speakers do i need for the front doors?   and wot size and type do i need for the dash, dont wanna spend too much but want it to sound nice

go down your local ICE shop and tell them the car you got, they will sort you out with a set.. I have a kenwood set, tweets in dash, mids in doors front and rear, then some JBL 6x9's in the parcel shelf and a 10" active sub in the boot....all makes allot of noise when wanted, but the main thing is crisp and quality audio at decent listening volume. nice 8.1 system thats for sure

165mm is the correct front door size...allthough 170mm speakers fit but look at the speaker depth as deep speakers like my jbl's wont let the o.e grille cover them
