Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, I'm fitting a double-din radio and need to remove the frame around the original radio. I've removed the horse-shoe shaped facia and then there are 3 screws on each side that hold the frame to the chassis. But it won't pull free because, I think, the centre air vent is holding it back. I can't for the life of me see how to release the air vent, there doesn't look to be any screws??? Help!! Thanks

Have a read of this - it must be in there somewhere: http://911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=125771

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, it didn't mention it - but have since found out there are hopefully two tabs inside the vents that need to be pushed down so as to be able to remove the vent. Will take another look today.

If you have a look at the pictures on this eBay ad, you can see where the retaining clips are: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304461656420? Might help.

Nice 8) That Pioneer should give a nice 'clean' unfussy look Weighing up options for my C4S too - can't justify/stretch to PCCM+, so great to see what other forum members are doing. Please keep us (me ) posted with how you get on with fitting

It depends on the age of the vehicle .. i believe it's the early type that the air vent comes away with the front panel with the later type having X2 " hooks " .. a very small watchmakers screwdriver to push into the slot and lever downwards in both of these and it will come out . Slot is in the very top of the air vent and between the slates .
