As the title says i’ve been trying to remove the standard headunit in my mk2.5. I managed to get the left hand side of it free pretty easily by sticking a screwdriver in the upper central hole and pulling the unit, but i spent about 3 hours trying to get the right hand side free and it just won’t budge.
Anyway, after wrestling with it for a while i got bored and flicked the sidelights on which somehow also triggered the central locking system to unlock the doors [^o)], tho they were already unlocked, and it did this every time i flicked them on. I turned the ignition on and tried and then all was normal, so i turned it off again. Then i tried again and it did the same again but this time locking the doors. When i use the key in the doors i have to turn it twice (e.g. lock, back to the middle and lock again) for it to operate the central locking and the indicators don’t flash to confirm it anymore. Also the engine management light comes on when the engine is running.
Have i just disconnected an earth or something? [*-)]
PS. any nifty tricks on getting the headunit free would be welcome as its doing my head in. Ive used the guides linked to in the ICE thread but i just can’t get the right hand side free.
