Default Stereo removal

HI All,

I'm looking to change the stereo in my 1990 C4. It currently has an aftermarket Sony double din CD player in there and i was looking to replace it with a DVD player.

Looking at how the steroe fits in i see that the facia will need to be removed first? Are there any guides on how to do this? Illustrating what needs to be removed first and if there are any hidden scerws?

I really don't want to snap any plastic locators etc.

The current aftermarket stero distorts after reaching half volume so thought it would be a good time to upgrade the whole unit.

Cheers

Peter

Thats great Bobby, perfect. Just what i was after.

On a seperate note, where did the guy in the Video get the printed Corvette overlay that goes over the notification light panel? I really like the look of that.

Sorry for not posting in the Audio section. I couldn't find a seperate Audio thread in the C4 section.

There's a few around from the usual suspects Peter...I would think there are others on maybe Fleabay?
