FAO Tigger = Idiots guide to fitting HU

[The Big Yin]

Standard HU

OK i have used some nails as removal pins just find ones of similar size to the holes , push them and you will feel them working

Gently work the HU out of the slot - i find a small screwdriver and working round the HU it comes out real easy

Out she comes

These are the connectors at the back of the HU you need to push the clips in and then you can pull out the connectors easily

All the wires disconnected

Pull the connectors through the fitting cage and push back the cage

Once in place push down the tabs to hold it in place

This is the plug from the back of the HU

Simply push the right connector into the right slot- they have a different amount of pins

Feed the wires behind the dash - need to make sure as little as possible is behind the HU as it will be harder to get HU in place

On mine it has a small plastic surround that needed clipping into place

The final result - and only took 15 minutes and that included the photo's

Can't get it any easlier than this.

That looks as easy as I'd hope it to be

I build/repair computers now and then so can't really be much harder than that I suppose

Good guide, a couple quid for some release keys from halfords means the head unit will pull straight out by the keys without the need to use screw drivers to leaver it out.
