Several countries today including the United States boasts of Satellite Radio; a technology that transmits signals, from outer space to a digital decoder in car radio or other mobile radio, trillions of miles away.
Satellite Radio (SR) knows no geographical limit. With mobile services like Sirius, XM and Worldspace, you can capture signals literally going around the world a facility that has nudged ground-based, limit-ranged radio broadcasts aside. But for services like Muzak and Music Choice a digital receiver and dish antenna are mandatory, besides keeping clear of signal blockers such as tall buildings and garages.
Satellite Radio is also called subscription radio (SR) as it's launched as a commercial venture requires subscription. Though the radio provides a wide variety of channels dedicated to sports, news, music, etc, signals can only be received with a digital decoder.
Removing a Car Radio
Removing an in-dash car radio is generall y quick and easy. Some, but only a small number of cars, will require the dash surrounding the radio to be removed as the radio may be held in with screws It is a simple task to remove a dashboard car radio provided it's cautiously done. Position yourself on the passenger seat specifically for right handed persons.
Car Radio within a Sleeve
Usually a car radio can be removed easily without unscrewing the dash around it. However, among different car manufacturers, there is a trend to secure the radio with metal sleeve (or cage) by either two or four clips. These clips when pushed inwards release the radio from the sleeve.
Apt tool Keys
Some manufactures use the same method (i.e. securing clips) devoid of sleeve. Standard radio removal (DIN) keys can be used for radios that contain on their sides either small one or two holes. DIN tools are easily available across car shops and websites.
Using DIN keys
DIN tools are successful in car radio removals for makes like pre-04 Fiat, Land Rovers, Ford, Peugeot, MG and many more. You have to simply insert key till it locks in place (the key s can be bended for two holes radio). After the keys have locked in place pull the keys outwards and away from car radio (this process releases the securing clips).Finally, the keys can be pulled away with the radio. As a security measure you have to unscrew four Allen screws which are only 5/64 size or 2mm prior to inserting the DIN keys.
Radio behind a dash
The Japanese cars usually have a factory fitted car radio which is secured behind a dash. Seemingly tricky, these radio fits are nothing but a push fit.
Securing the wiring
After successful car radio release from the sleeve the wiring, harness connectors and aerial should be carefully cut off.
Removing the car radio should be a simple task requiring, not any apt skill, rather persistence and pre-planning. However, in the face of any complication a local technician or Haynes manual can always be consulted. So its better to consult before doing it yourself.
