[Ant106]

Now then all, I am new to the forum only just signed up.

neways i have a 2000 (x) reg 106 1.1 and i need help on removing the whole stereo to wire up the remote wire and amp wire.

anyone no how?? on my mates you can just slide it in n out easily but on this you cant.

any help is much appreciated.

what make is the headunit, you need to slide a thin metal plate between the head unit and cage, you should feel some resistance when sliding the plates in then slide the whole headuit and plates out.
You can get special radio keys dependant on the make of your headunit
