Install help

[Turtle82]

Ok I have a Eclipse deck in my 95 dodge neon but the cd player has stopped playing CDs so I was gonna take it out and put something else in. When I try to take out the cd player there seems to be a metal bar that the cd player is hooked to in the back. Im assuming the guy who had this car before me had it professionally installed. Can anyone tell me or give me a site on how I can get to the back so I can get this off? Thanks for whoever helps.

if it is the little flaps, just bend them back flat

No, not the metal flap things. This is like in the actual back of the cd player that I believe profesional installers use so its tougher for a theif to pull it out.

Ya there's a place to screw a metal bolt stirght in the middle of the back of my eclipse HU. That might be what he's talking about.

backstrap?

I tried to take pictures but since I can't pull the deck out more than three inches its hard to get a good picture of what is holding it in. Isn't there a way to just pull out the console or whatever the middle dash thing is called where you put your cd player at?

Yeah, I believe that is what its holding it in. Wasn't sure what it was called.
