Re: Aftermarket stereo

Hi,

I purchased the Connect 2 fixing kit. Looking at the measurements and the area that I need to cut is basically the plastic bar that holds the top unit up, but if cut that out then I won't be able to put the top unit back if I need to in the future.

By top unit I mean the CD player unit.
