be really careful not to damage facia bit, the clips and screw holes go brittle with age

[Dave Elite]

Unless you take radios apart for a living, i suggest you send it to DaveDND. Most standard car radio shack shops won't touch them, because they are so bad to dismantle.

Oh Sh1t, whats so bad about them?

When you take off the front panel, you don't find what you think you will. Its basically 2 single din units joined together at the front by the facia, just separating them involves a lot of work, front panel is very fragile, spares are hard to come by and very expensive.

I had one re-built for me, for the 3.0, by someone who is hugely experienced with electronics, even they have 'fun' with them.

Thanks for the advice

No problemo, i'll now just sit on my hands 

What do you mean?

You know very well, check your sent items in you PM mail box.

I've just looked, I didnt send those messages. Hows this happened?

Ive got that off now, not quite sure what to do next, I'm just looking inside to see why the magazine is stuck.

There is / was a car audio 'specialist' in Garden City if you get stuck and need local help....

While some of the admins are mischievous, cunning, and get bored. I don't think they would spoof abusive PM's from your mailbox to mine on specific subjects from my posts.

Now you have posted requiring help, which i have replied on in detail, your trying to pull a fast one.

Thanks, ive discovered a white plastic clip inside the head unit it was stuck under the magazine, I think it might be part of the magazine but not sure. I've got it out now.
