Head unit trim removal..

fork · 16-09-2012, 08:49 PM

I currently have a 2003 Protege SP20 with an after market head unit (Pioneer avh-p6850dvd). The head unit doesn't have Ipod connectivity at the moment and I need to get to the rear of the head unit to plug in the lead. So, how do i remove the trim around the head unit?? Surely it can't be that hard, I just don't want to go prying with a screw driver...

Thanks in advance

Thats how i do it... Just put a screwdriver under one of the bottom corners and just go around till its all uncliped..

Easiest way is to pull forward from the air vents, and unplug from there
