How to remove McIntosh head unit?

Postby Silverspool » Sat Aug 24, 2013 6:34 am

Hi guys, hoping you can help. Recently purchased an anycar link al1080a for my 2007 liberty gt spec b with sat nav. Sent the car off to northfield Moorooka for install yesterday and they weren't able to power it up. So emailed the supplier last night and they have come back and asked for pics front and back of the head unit so they can identify whether their product is compatible....I've looked on the forum regarding how to remove the head unit (so I can get a pic of the rear) but couldn't find anything. I also searched google and again nothing. If anyone has pics or a removal guide vid I would greatly appreciate the help.

Thanks
Sam

I've seen it done today actually.., had a double din installed by a local car stereo place and managed to watch the technician pull the factory unit out, it took him all of about 2 minutes to do it.., I couldn't believe it.. it looked so easy, not that I could tell you how to do it.., I wouldn't want him breaking into my car... so if you know what you are doing its easy :D

Hmmm, been searching high and low as per your suggestion...there is no particular tutorial to remove the head deck. If you are familiar with the topic (seen the question a million times) could you give me a clue where to look because i'm struggling to find anything credible in the Audio section :)
