Hi
I have a 1990 t25... the radio is giving up the ghost. How do I take it out... and stick in a new one, will the wiring need modifying... are there any other pitfalls I haven't considered. Is it a job for a novice or should I get the local mechanic to have a fiddle?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really need music!

Re: Radio ga ga
There are to small holes on each side of the radio, to remove it you need something to stick in the holes. Any place selling radios will have tools for it) and then just rip it out. reed the manual to intall the new one. Wiring can be a nut depending on what is there, but there should be two or three power cables, antenna cable and speaker cables. if whatever is in there does not fit the new radio you can by the right contacts and connect to the old wires.
The old one should have: brown=earth, red=switched power, one for constant power ( have no idea iv the T3 have that originally) and then there should be speaker cables. and the antenna cable is the big one!
hope this helps, I have never changed an original radio in a T3 so not sure how that one is.
