CR-1 head unit removal
I have the original cassette deck in my 95' 993 which I believe was made by Alpine, model # CR-1 My question is how do you get it out of the dash? I see no holes on the sides to use a puller and there is no room behind it to do anything. Tried searching the archives but sadly came up empty. I'm sure it's a simple procedure if anyone knows. TIA

I just did this a few days ago so it's fresh in my mind.
Use a small screwdriver and pry off the plastic trim. It's the thin plastic rectangular frame around the radio face and it snaps off easily.
Once the trim is off you will notice a small latch on each side. Using a small screwdriver, push both of the small latches to the center position so that they become unlatched.
Then you can push the radio from the back side or use some small pliers and pull it out by the small latches. The cables are long enough to remove the radio a few inches beyond the dash so they are easily unplugged.
