798.0. "... radio waves ..." by CHEFS::CLEMENTSD (steam nut by choice) Thu Oct 12 1989 14:09

    How come some manufactures have more luck in supressing radios than
    others? My Renault emits hash at the mere thought of an overhead
    line. Drive under the BIG lines near the M4 Jncn 12 and I have to
    switch it off. The car has had "all the manufacturers mods installed,
    sir". The renault chappie wasn't too amused when I told him that
    from experience Ford, Toyota, Datsun and even ARG could manage it
    so I expected Renault to be able to do it.........
                   
    Any comments? (Apart from don't buy a Renault!)

798.16can't find the ICE note...VOGON::ATWALDreams, they complicate my lifeWed Feb 14 1990 16:4711
does anyone know how to remove a cassette/radio (without damage) from the
dash?

Mine has a small, deep hole in each corner, however putting a screwdriver 
down these only makes 'springy' noises i.e. no screws down there to turn.

the front plate also seems to be bonded to the unit

info appreciated...

I want to remove mine to stop someone else doing it first!!!

the tape bit doesn't work too well,

& I'd like to fit a 'removable' type case to it so that I can pull it out
when I'm not with the car

798.19VANILA::LINCOLNReality is not what it seemsWed Feb 14 1990 17:2411
	The 'slots' at the side type fitting requires a special tool
	which you push in to release the spring clips, then it just
	pulls out.

	It's supposed to be a 'standard' fitting, but I think there
	are more than one type. Could read the manual I suppose.

	Get tools at car radio specialists or from your local car radio
	thief.

If it's the Phillips, BlauPunkt style with two holes each side, one at the
top one at the botton, try making the "special tool" from two lengths of
coat hanger wire. It works a treat with my Phillips radio ...shame the
Clarion I have isn't the same

    I have a pair of special removal tools that came with my Clarion radio.
    I'll bring them in - you're welcome to see if they work.

    Huh!  And I brought in my special removal tools today.  Now I'll
    probably be arrested for "going equipped" ...
