The title should read " How to REMOVE a STOCK RADIO - STEREO.............With One Hand"!!! Very impressive. Looking forward to part 2.

[@chadchristian3704]

Very impressive and will certainly prevent broken parts for new installers. Wish other publishers had the knowledge & took this much care with delicate plastic components.

[@TheUnicornblood]

great video! what shift knob is that? I like it! does it shortens the throw any?

[@Jim19053ElectronicsDude]

+TheUnicornblood It is a Hurst knob and shifter. The throw is slightly shorter and it has a better feel - less clunky if you know what I mean.

[@TheUnicornblood]

+Jim19053 Thanks jim. Where can I buy one? I am not allowed to use any kind of short shifter kit due to SCCA rules. So I need JUST the shifter. Will Hurst sell me just the shift knob? will it mount up to the oem tthread?

[@slowvette7189]

any idea on how much the stock radio weighs? looking to delete it all together and just curious to the weight

[@Jim19053ElectronicsDude]

+slowvette slowvette Just the head unit or the entire system? It was light enough that I could throw it pretty far! LoL!

[@Teslawesome]

can't figure out how to remove the active.habdling part. one of the plugs won't come out

[@Jim19053ElectronicsDude]

+themensview Sometimes a very small screwdriver can be used to pry it apart. Be careful not to short the wires or crack the plastic. Our old Vettes parts are starting to get brittle- kind of like me!! LoL!
