<e30> <all?> Removing Factory Stereo Head Unit - "Security Bolt"

[Chris Baisley <cbaisley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am going to remove my 89 325i's head unit in the next few days.  I have
pulled it out to have a look (easy with the pent-key release bolts, except
for the pent part) and there is something called a 'security bolt' on the
back that has two brown wires fixed underneath it.

Can anyone tell me what this 'security bolt' is for?  It doesn't appear to
be terribly removable, so I'll probably have to cut the brown wires to
remove the unit.  Will this be a problem?  Should I splice them back
together?  Will cutting them cause me to be instantly vapourized?

TIA,
Chris
