    I might be a bit dumb here, but I never got the detachable radio idea/need?

    The radio interfaces were not exchangeable between different brands, right? Or was there an universal interface that I am unaware of?

    Wouldn’t a bad actor need to dismantle the entire radio head as well, for the interface part to be of any good use?

      its anti theft because the unit doesnt work without the face and they were married with a code. car radio theft was rampant in the early 90s
