im not sure if u need to cut it off, it may just pop off depending on your car. I installed a deck in my ex's 97 civic ex that had factory keyless alarm & she wanted to keep it. part of what i had to do was keep her factory deck along with the aftermarket deck in her car. the face on her factory deck just popped off w/ a flathead screwdriver. (i had to do this in order to fit the factory deck behind the dash)
edit: when u pop it off, there is a connection that you have to carefully remove from the chip inside the deck
does this method only work on casssete player?
edit: i think i figured out how this can be done...i took a look at my factory cd player(double din size) and saw there are two screws holding the face cover. i took the screws off and tried to pop that thing out with NO SUCCESS. that is damn tight. thanx for the reply guys
