JVC CD player removal - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**furious1** · 09-21-2007, 06:39 PM

Morning all,

I managed to acquire a '97 Toyota Celica GT last night (silver, leather interior - looks smart

) and it has an old school JVC cd player in it which doesnt seem to want to play CD's. This is no biggie as i had an ever-so-slightly more modern one from my previous car that i want to swap in anyway.

Now, originally there must have been a double DIN radio in there and also the fascia surrounding the CD player overlaps a little bit but the main problem is even getting the player to come loose at all. I have the removal tools for my JVC which i assume will be pretty similar to whatever would have been for the old one but, alas, i cant seem to get anything to 'catch' on them - or if i am then the player isnt moving at all anyway.

The missus has a '92 lude and her CD player was actually bolted in from the rear where the rubber stop usually is - is this a common thing on jap cars?

Anyone had any previous experience getting out a stubborn CD player from their car? I can destroy if needs be!!

edit: looks like some panel removal will be necessary... o well.

They mostly deal with 7th generation Celicas, but you should be able to find a few people who know a lot about the 6th gen. They can probably help you out.

i didnt realise that it was going to be a car specific job to be honest - all the other cars i have fiddled with (oo-er) have been simple to rip the ICE from... am currently a member of the celica club uk forum anyway and will post there if my powers of deduction fail me tomorrow!
