Hey, I'm in the process of wiring up my Sirius to a modified Tape/MD 1/8" output. I was looking under the dash to take out the bolt for the headunit, and it appears there is no bolt. I can see the two lower bolts that are clearly not involved with the headunit, then I see a hole where a 10mm bolt could easily fit, about 2-3" above the lower bolts. I got the car used, so it's conceivable somebody worked on it before.

Questions:
a) am I really missing a bolt, or just blind/stupid?
b) if I'm missing the bolt, is it a problem?

Thanks for any input,
Noah

 

Did your head unit come out? If so, the bolt is missing. The head unit will not come out with the bolt in place. People are reporting the bolts seem to have been only hand tightened - at least mine was and it was easily removed and I only hand tightened it when I put it back in. Maybe it fell out?? Doesn't seem likely though...

Anyway, I don't think the missing bolt is a problem. The unit is secured by the plastic clips of the front face and the two screws behind the ashtray. Unless it creates a noise - squeaking etc., you should be fine.

 

the bolt is more than likely in place, it is just not easy to see... it helps to take the metal brace off under the steering.. also it takes a really good pull to get the headunit out for the first time..
