1973 Indian Radio Removal

[Deano]

What's the easiest way to do this?Remove the whole dash or go in thru glovebox.Mine has the long,flat dash.

[87Rockwood]

Do you have a picture? what chassis? Most radios of that vintage came out from under the dash or remove the glove box liner. May need to move some AC ducts out of the way.

[Deano]

No pics yet...seems rather tight behind this dash.

[87Rockwood]

Is this a newish radio or the original? Make? Model? I need something to go with here.....

[Deano]

It's an old school cassette deck...want to remove to install a single DIN unit.

For those units, pull the knobs off, remove the shaft nuts, and remove the unit from the backside. You should be able to reach the unit from directly under the dash or from one side. It's been many years since I pulled one of those out, but that's the memory that I have.

To install the new unit it will require enlargening the existing opening by cutting the dash.

[Deano]

Yeah,I figured as much...probably too much of a pain to remove the dash.

[87Rockwood]

If you want to play CDs you can get the adapter that takes the place of the cassette.

[Deano]

Nah...the deck is hooped...got a cd/dvd/nav system I'm putting in.

[Deano]

Gonna take a stab at it this week.
