Old remote cassette player removal

[Boz86]

This is a stone cold simple project but I'm going to throw it out there to help anyone tired of looking at an old remote cassette player. It cost me $10 for the part from Amazon, took 25 minutes, and fits perfect. It would have taken 10 minutes at most if I'd had a 7mm (9/32") socket vice using a box end wrench inside the trim.

Process: Lift the lower cubby door, remove the two 7mm screws, lift the trim piece up. Remove old player by pushing down on two levers on either side of it. Disconnect the player's wire harness at the back. Slide new cubby hole in until it clicks. Put trim down and then tighten screws. $10 and 10 minutes. YouTube has a couple of videos. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DDYNUC0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I was an 8-track guy so it's not a big loss

That was the 1970s! When we were kids my buddy had a big 8-track collection and would only buy cars with them in it. I had a few but switched to cassettes as that was what my cars had in them. Even our '99 Montana had a cassette player, talk about a legacy product!

I used 8 tracks for a while because they were easy to fast forward. Don't really miss them or cassettes...

Had a Pioneer 8-Track recorder in the 70s and my big brother and I made our own tapes. My '72 Monte Carlo had a factory AM 8-Track radio. Good times!
