Default How do I remove the headunit in an EG?

I just bought a 95 EG off of a guy and the headunit that he put in it isn't completely wired up. I removed glove box to see if there was any way i could get to it from there, and I removed the console under it the headunit and climate control, and from there I tried to push it from the back but it won't go anywhere without breaking something on its way out. Any know to to get it out without removing the whole dash?

It sounds like he has installed a back support, and if he has done it properly it is connected to the stock back support brace, this may help... http://www.installdr.com/Insta...7.pdf

The other possibility is, if it is like most aftermarket HUs, the HU is "locked" into it's mounting cage, and the cage is mounted into the stock din opening, if it is an aftermarket HU you are going to need a set of release "keys".

What is the make and model number of the HU? 94

That model number does not come up on the JVC site, it should be KD- something

Is it a newer or older HU?
Is it CD, Cass. or multimedia?
Is it a marine HU?

Probably a KD-HDR1... http://resources.jvc.com/Resou...A.pdf page 2, if you do not have the "keys" a set of thin butter knives should work.

If it held with the stock bracket support, you can reach the screws/bolts from underneath the H/U. Removing the ashtray console will do the trick. Just make sure that you don't skin any of the wires or you will end up with a blown fuse.
