You don't need to remove any of the vents. One of the aftermarket manufacturers say that in their instructions.

See my SVX radio installation guide.

Yes, I still need to finish that for you, but Christmas happened (and then I got sick). I'm going to measure how much current the radio draws, to see what size AC adapter would be required.


As for the bulbs, several of mine died. I was able to open up the radio enough to replace some of the ones that back-light the buttons without too much difficulty. Soldering in the new ones was the hardest part -- very fine work.

But I don't recall how much more you would need to dissassemble to replace the backlights for the LCD.
