mite be a straight swap then

when i did my kenny to my new kenny in corsa, i just took the plug out back of head unit and plugged it into the new one, didnt even touch the wiring

if its a sony, the removal tools may be different, I know my kenwood had a funny flat fork type tool which slid down the side.

Try the tools of the new sony unit to see if they work

aye mate done plenty b4, just needed 2 know what tools to take as dont fancy driving back home lol

he just told me he has a sony in at the mo, but a cassette. im fitting a sony cd player for him so im hopeing its a straight swap :)

gonna take some extra bits anyway just incase

cheers

check the memory first, if it doesn keep its memory follow instructions above

cheers

why mess around with coat hangers and pop rivets when proper removal keys are only £2

the cav will be iso

so whatever stereo you get should plug straight in,

only thing you may need to sort out is the 2 lives, on all vauxhalls they are the opposite way round!
before chopping any wires check the stereo keeps its memory!
chop the yellow and red wires on the iso block that ya get with the stereo and swap them round


yellow to red
and
red to yellow


bobs ya uncle!

yeah is it standard radio cause if so - there will be 4 allen bolts on it for the cover

You used to be able to use a coathanger marv but some can be a bitch to get out..There's only £2 though so it's well worth it.

Is it a vaux radio?

metal coat hangers or pop rivets :D u may need a very small allen key as there are sometimes bolts hiding the holes

got some coathanger wire here, recon thats any good? never done 1 b4

think the stereo going in defo has the loomb in the back but i dont know what car its out of

best bet will be to join wires 2gether and hope 4 best :)

can u buy them? make them?

some radio removal tool, or some bent wire, i dont think that the cav had the iso plugs as standard, so take some wire cutters and some connectors if u dont have the adapter.

Yep you need the prongs mate..

Go into an audio shop and ask to lend some..that's what i always used to do.

its a 2.0 H reg with electrics, sure he said its a face off stereo tho?

what tools i need?

any ideas as im off 20 miles to swap one over and dont want to make 2 journys

do i need any adaptor plugs also?????
