【Remove a 1DIN Deck｜Removing Car Audio / Cable Management】

Before replacing your car, you may want to remove an aftermarket 1DIN deck.
Before installing a new navigation system or car audio, you’ll want to tidy up the current deck and the wiring.

That’s when you perform removal of a 1DIN deck.

It may look like it would be easy to remove just the main unit, but in reality, the work varies depending on the condition of the panel and mounting hardware, the wiring on the back side, and modifications that were done in the past. If you pull it out by force, you may damage nearby panels or end up not knowing which wire is which.

We work with consideration for the condition after removing the 1DIN deck

At LOGON, we don’t just remove the deck—we also make sure to confirm how you plan to use the vehicle after it’s removed.

• You want to remove an old car audio system
• You want to remove an aftermarket deck that came with a used car
• You want to return it to a state close to stock
• You want to prepare for the next navigation / car audio installation
• You want to organize monitors or decks you aren’t using
• You want to check the previous wiring layout once

If power wires or speaker wiring added to the vehicle side, or traces of past modifications, remain, the job may not be finished with just removing the main unit. As needed, we also check the wiring and mounting parts so that things will be in an easy-to-understand state for future work and maintenance.

Since it’s a removal job, the finish makes the difference

Just like installation, careful work is required when removing the audio.

Don’t forcefully remove the panel, don’t accidentally damage the vehicle-side wiring, and decide how to organize unnecessary parts and wiring. By proceeding while checking these points, it becomes easier to understand the situation again during the next audio installation or vehicle maintenance.

However, depending on the vehicle model and your current installation condition, the process after removal and how to return to a stock state will differ. It’s important to judge by considering not only whether it can be removed, but also what condition it will be in after it’s removed.

We will guide you based on an on-site look at the actual vehicle

The work details and labor charges for removing a 1DIN deck may vary depending on the vehicle model, installation condition, and past installation/modification history.

Whether you only need to remove the main unit or whether you also need cable management and panel restoration can be determined more accurately by checking the actual vehicle. If you decide based only on information beforehand, the actual condition and the work required may not match.

If you’d like to remove an old deck or would like to organize the interior in preparation for your next car audio installation, please feel free to consult us. We will sort out the necessary work together while looking at the vehicle’s condition and how you plan to use it afterward.
