I want to fit a radio/CD player to my RB5. Is it a complicated job to remove the radio/cassette fitted.

Should be easy as just getting a normal player out. And just replace :) 

I have a 6-disc CD changer fitted behind the rear passenger armrest. Previous owner did this, leaving the front fascia untouched. I can't crawl around looking for clues as to how its fitted if that helps.

THIS is what you want  <_<  < smug look ;)

I should have said I CAN crawl around. Damn my typo crappos!

Must not think dirty thoughts...Must not think dir... To late :D 

Hi,thanks for the replies guys. Do I need special removal keys to extract the radio/cd,or do I have to dismantle the console that it is mounted in.

Nope just use little Allen keys , push em in till you hear a click then rip it out

Hi Matt,thanks for the quick reply. I haven't collected the RB5 yet,it's over in Yorkshire. I'm over there this weekend so will go armed with small Allen keys and the new radio/cd and have a go at fitting it. Sounds like it will be an easy job. Cheers

Hope it goes well for you. I ripped a top notch Blaupunkt unit out of my old Rover 620 that was being scrapped (still miss that car). If you didn't see or can't remember how it was fitted it can be a bugger to get it out again. As the car was being scrapped we busted the fascia to get it out, although I felt I'd vandalized and insulted my old friend by doing this. It's funny how folks can get attached to a car.

 

The irony... my BF is now driving around in a pretty tidy P reg Pug, galvie bodywork so no rust. I got it for £400 when my beloved Rover died and gifted to BF when his van died as I was biking all the time and hardly used it - it has one of the better sound systems going. We are not youngsters, but we do like to educate the locals with some hard rock when we are on the move ;-)

Where in Cumbria are you mate ?

Hi, I live in Carlisle, top end of the Lake District. Not got my RB5 on the road yet,gonna give it some TLC and run it from April till end of September and store over the Winter. One previous owner ,62k miles,full history and all receipts and completely standard,not many like this left. Too good to pass up!

Ah I'm driving thro tomorrow ! Gotta go to castle something in Scotland
