Glovebox Removal - 6c gti

[Dink]

I'm trying to fit a alpine KTP-445 to the oem stereo

i tried to remove the stereo but couldn't get it out so looked at removing the whole glove box

now i think i've taken all the screws out but it still seems stuck in the bottom left corner.

has anyone removed it before or got the procedure of how to remove it?

it's the same as every 6r and 6c. did you get the screw at the bottom, near the door?

[Dink]

i doubt it but couldn't see any more screws to remove

do i need to get a light in there to find it?

[iichel]

yes it's hidden above the trim with the extra storage compartment

[Dink]

thanks iichel i'll see how i get on now

Really interested to see what you think this sounds like once done. If it brings a good improvement, can you document how you did it, and which bits you used? I think the stereo is the biggest let-down in this car.

i'm going to see how it works out with the oem speakers (my 9n3 sounded loads better)

but i will look at fitting the custom fit rainbows later on

Sounds really interesting. I was thinking of going with the Focals if the amp helps, but any change of the kit is interesting to see if it helps.

I've got an old 9N3 1.4 which is slow as hell but the speakers are excellent and it's just a completely different audio proposition to the crap speakers in the GTi
