I've worked on the radio in my car and have taken it apart several times. I can take out the radio in my G in less than two minutes. at first it took me a while, but if you know what you're doing, it can be done really quickly.

 

Grey Ghost-Did you have an aftermarket car alarm installed? The thieves probably checked to see if you only had the factory alarm.

Eclipse headunits do have ESN ( electronic security network ). Wont prevent theft, but if ESN feature was activated, unit will be useless to thieves. Unit will not turn-on, unless you insert a disc programmed by owner. Also if owner registers unit with Eclipse, if stolen, and if thieves are stupid enough to call eclipse for Help or assistance, the electronic serial# provided, will show unit was stolen. Also if unit was purchased and installed at an authorized dealer, if stolen, Eclipse will replace unit, no charge.

 

By the way, our car is a real b*tch to get the head unit in and out of...

Anything can be taken if you are a pro, including the whole car. However, most likely your average thief is going to mess up your dash trying to yank the thing out and not be able to do it.

 

you obviously don't have an 03-04 model which is much harder to remove, even the world's best expert would be hard pressed to do it in less than 15 minutes.

 

That only applies if the HU itself is stolen, if they steal the whole car and then steal the HU you are SOL on the replacement

 

I pull the 03-04 out in about 20 minutes, just rolling along. If I didn't care about the car (like a theif), it could be done in under 10 mins. By the way, the 03-04 is almost no more work than the 05-06. I've done installs on both for members on here.

 

hmm it took us like 35 min the first time, ide be hard pressed to find someone that has never worked on a G to be able to do it in less than 20

 

Understand, but a thief is just going to yank the dash apart, I.E. break it apart!

 

yeah but i was referring to that jack a$$ that said he can do it in 3 minutes.

A good thief would saw the DDIN finisher and pull it.

 

you obviously must be a dumb @$$ who doesn't know how to work on a G. Bring me your G and I'll take your radio out in less than 3 minutes without damaging anything. And then laugh when you damage your car when you try to put it back together since YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T KNOW HOW TOO! MORON!! HAHAHAHA!

 

lol, ok n00b, since it's so easy for you why don't you make a quick video clip of you doing it in 3 minutes, i am sure many G owners would be very impressed by your technique as every1 else around here finds it quite tedious to do. & like others said, would be hard pressed to do it in less than 20 minutes.

I basically think you are full of **** and a liar. you probably get your work done at Al & Ed's.

liar

 

If i do, will you change you screen name to BIGASS? Cuz that's what you're gonna feel like when i prove you wrong.

 

i don't have a screen name because I am not on AOL.

i will be impressed, you must know some secret the rest of us have never heard of if you can do that.

 

screen/user name (BigSash) come on...i think everyone on here except you can figure that one out.

 

yeah i knew what you meant i was just jabbing you by saying you were a AOL user. anyway, you can't do what you claim liar.
