Glove box disc changer

Post by rybu0305 »

My 850 wagon has a cd changer in the glove box but it is missing the cassette. I don't really need the changer and would rather have the glove box space back. The thing is I can't figure out for the life of me how to get the changer out. I can't see any screws or anything holding in. I tried to push it different directions to see if it was locked on from the bottom some how and it didn't budge. Not sure if it came stock or aftermarket. Anybody know how to get this thing out?
Thanks.

I'm guessing that it's an Alpine unit that was installed there aftermarket. You probably need to remove the inner glove box liner and the changer is mounted to it. Remove the several torx screws around the perimeter and pop the supports free from the door and it will slide right out.
