Default Re: auxilary input jack

I just wanted to personally thank Brian (BrianBrave) for all his help in my quest to duplicate his install. Thanks to Brain it was relatively painless.... and felt his hard work shouldn't go unnoticed.

And for those of you who need a little help swapping the face plates here's the D.I.Y. Brian sent me:

Took my old radio apart to take some pictures and remember how I did it.


First, remove the 4 small torq screws on the back



Second, carefully twist the small tabs on the bottom so they are straight.



Make sure the two large ***** on the front of the unit (volume and tune) are removed, then simply (but carefully) pull the face plate off.

There are two tabs on each side that you will need to slide of the keepers....



In the next picture you will see two long snap-in guides that fit/snap into the PC board.
(This was the hard part for me as they were pretty snug and you need only pry gently near them to get the faceplate separated from the back.)



Carefully pulling on the faceplate while holding the PC board (after sliding the side keepers off) will remove the faceplate from the circuit board.

Re-assemble in reverse order with the silver faceplate and *****, noting that there is soft recoil plastic (the white guy in picture #3) between the top row of buttons on the faceplate and the switches on the PCB that will need to be alighned - But you will see that.
