[C320-list] FW: Re: Radio Install

[Karl Mielenhausen _/)]

Before you take the wood panel off, why not try to slide the radio out of its metal mounting cage. You may need a small screwdriver to release any locking mechanism that is holding it in.

I was able to slide out an old cassette player and slide my new cd changer right into the same mounting. Never took the panel off. Hopefully you have enough play in the wiring to make the new connections before you slide the new radio in.
