headunit, 1995 golf mk3

hey. just got my new golf and it has a rubbish old panasonic head unit in it that i cant seem to remove, i want to put my flip out screen in.

ive tried everything. are there any tips for removing headunits that are really stubburn? ive removed loads of headunits in the past but this one really doesnt want to go!

its a golf mk3 by the way if that helps!

Thanks!

Hi

From what I can remember if you used the autoleads iso then in certain vw's this will happen.  On your headunit try switching the yellow and red, so red goes to yellow and yellow to red on ur harness.  What model golf is it then maybe i can help a bit more. Do you have a multimeter handy? Some vw's i think mk2 and early mk3 but don't quote me, the autoleads joinsthe ignition and battery wire so the headunit is always on. 

If you have no luck pm me and i can look it up tonight, im in oxford area, u? 

yeah its a golf mk3 1995 cabby. yellow wire from where ? the car or headunit. the headunit is a bit of a bitch as its got a million wires coming out of it.

im in kent, gillingham area. thanks for your help

should bea yellow and red on the headunit wires, yellow is battery, red is ignition, a lot of cars you need to swap them around.  i know what you mean about there being loads of wires an no space in the mk3.  sounds like u might need to swap them. let me know if it works.
