Removing a Pioneer Headunit

[FincH]

Picking my new motor up tonight but the girl says she doesn't know how to remove her headunit (bless!)

Am I correct in thinking all I need is a pair of these?

If can they be purchased from Halfords and if not, how the hell do you get it out!

Cheers.

the first clips there are a waste of money from halfords, may sound like a cheapo but just get a metal coat hanger bend it into the U shape and just use dem, they work and saves you the money.

Good luck! I was told there are 4 different Pioneer keys, we couldn't get the ones for my girlfriends brothers car so had to literally beat the shite out of the centre console to get behind the dash and push the whole cage out.

The car had been written off anyway, but he paid halfords to fit the stereo and they nicked the release keys! the car is in scrap heaven now, but be warned that they might not fit.
