I don't see the point in taking off my head unit face when both my radio faceplates are still on there...I could take those off conceivably, too...but it would be too much work.
Why not use the delay open? Every time I turn off the car and the HU turns off, the faceplate opens so you can remove it. If you take it off the plate goes back in, if you don't take it off it retracts after about a minute.
And to the original poster it's almost always off. It never used to be until I got a nicer HU! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
you cant get my face off unless the HU is on, you have to hit the eject button and make it motor down and the push another button and then pull it off
my HU isin't even worth the time in removing the face, if some1 is downbad and desperate enuff to steal my HU they can have it but they will be very dissapointed
