I used a dremmel tool with a small rotary saw attachment. Just cut about 1/8th deep all around and you're in.

i wish i had a dremmel now i really mullered the box getting it apart, it just didnt wanna give! and i havent soldered for a while either, over a decade ago, so im not to impressed with what ive done there!? ill stick it on before properly resealing the box to see it i have fixed it, or, broke it!!

can anyone tell me if i have done a terrible job with the soldering if im still able to send it off to be reconditioned or can i just buy another off of ebay, or like with the rear view mirror does this have to be programmed to the car?
