Bose CD Player Removal

Yahoo Message Number: 65580
I need to get to the back of my Bose cd/radio player in my 2000 Magna. My cd is mounted on top of a small cabinet behind the drivers seat. I would like to gain access to the tape deck input and try using the Bose to play music from my mp3 player. There is a small wooden construction behind the player that prevents me from gaining access to the inputs for the unit.
I've removed the drawer beneath the unit but there are no screw heads visible making me think the player and the wooden construction are glued or two sided taped to the cabinet surface. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can remove either the unit or the wooden construction so I can gain access to the inputs?

My Bose is attached to the cabinet with velcro... applying gentle upward pressure should do the trick...

Finally got my Bose removed. My unit was attached with two sided foam core tape, one piece along each edge. I used a long cake decorating spatula with a serrated blade on one edge that I purchased from Michael's Crafts. I was able to slip the blade of the spatula under the Bose and pull it diagonally through the foam tape. I gradually cut through the tape and released the passenger side of the unit. Then I was able to raise the passenger side and work on the driver's side. It will be put back in place with 4 velcro patches. I can't imagine why such a secure attachment method was used in the beginning.
I haven't gotten into determining the wiring for my A/V equipment and I don't believe it is connected as it was when the coach was new. I'm the 3rd owner and some of the original components are missing. On the Bose unit, the Tape Input has cables on the input but I have no idea what is hooked to them. The Video Input Left and Right for Video 1 has cables attached and the two Speaker Zones have cables attached. I don't know what the Video 1 input is for. I attached my mp3 player to the AUX input.

Pete, I had my XM radio run through the Bose system and used the AUX input. I had to make some adjustments to the woofer behind the seat and found just a basket of wires pushed into a corner. If you have the Panasonic dash radio unit this was wired to the Bose. Another repair on Bose was LED display nearly disappeared sent complete unit to factory for repair. I believe the input ! is wiring from your overhead TV.
One of the best things I ever did was adding the XM radio through the Bose which also gave me the bay radio speakers by just pushing another button.
