I recently bought my car and became a member of this renowned forum. The plans for the car are very moderate, but one thing I want is a more modern infotainment system.
This will be my first little DIY project, replacing the standard Becker CDR-23 with a double DIN Pioneer SPH-DA120 unit with carplay.
Just adding a series of photos to document the progress, hopefully it can help/inspire someone. Or perhaps it's me that will need some help on the way, cheers!
Got a new key chain from my girlfriend, thanks
Before starting, AC on top followed by the CDR-23 and two storage compartments. Need to free up space on top.
Prying the frame around AC with a plastic mini crowbar, releasing two screws and the connectors. The two storage compartments are pryed out starting with the upper one and then the lower one as they are mounted and hinged to each other that way.
Since I dont have tools to release the CDR-23 i cut a mini jigsaw blade in two and use each end to bend the locking mechanism inside, one side at a time while gently pushing the unit out, which worked really well.
