does anyone know how to do this? i heard if you do this it make it very hard for thieves to rip out your HU. I was wondering has done this or know how to do it or where i can see how to do it?

 

If your putting it in your TC you wouldnt need to worry because its going to be held in place by four ten mm bolts. Factory brackets are used and those screw into the D3. I use my factory cover and put it down each time I leave my car...

 

it is in the car pretty well........they need a ratchet and 10mm socket and extension......a phillips..........and a lot of medical insurance when they get caught........get an alarm........got mine at best buy for cheap with free install.

 

so even if they try to take the avic out then they would have to rip out all of the dash in order to get to the bracket right?

 

they would need to remove the front of the center console around the shifter.......the waterfall........then unbolt the mounting bracket...... and unhook the harness.........it would be noisy and not too easy without the tools......with tools it comes out in under 3 minutes......but not many punks stealing radios are carrying tools......

 

ic...guess i'll save for that nice alarm system then =]]

 

mine was $230 installed........i did not need the remote start or kill switch or that other crap they try to sell you........i just got the alarm to go off if you bust a window or open a door or lift car up to take the wheels.........i already have lojack in it and the version i bought calls you if car is moving and you are not in it.......but that was spendy......

 

i remove the mounting bracket with a plyer.
i think you should invest in an alarm system.

 

u can use security torx screws or allen security screws, most likely they wont have those with them.

 

I can remove a headunit in like 2 minutes from a TC, it's not hard at all if you know what you're doing.

 

were there is a will there is a way, just get a good alarm with a pager so u know when it is going off and make sure you put the cover down over when your not in the car.

 

thats a really good idea. im gonna do that when i get my D2 thanks

 

np :D

 

That is a really good idea.......infact a have a box of them from work........wonder if they are close tothe right size....

 

good idea with the torx screws.
