Removing Head Unit

[CCCClio Unit !]

How do you remove the standard head unit of a mk 2 2000 clio ! theres no were around the back to push it and there are no keys for it ! any help of ideas ??

 

[beatjunkie]

maybe look in the interior section probly summit in there mate, is there holes in the front of the stereo or small slits if there is your gonna need keys, shockin name mate!

 

[CCCClio Unit !]

there tiny little pin holes 2 either side but no room for keys as the front bit over laps slighty !

 

[BRUN]

poke something into those holes

you can buy removal keys for about £3 from any Motor World

use some metal skewers if you have any, they also fit

 

[beatjunkie]

basically u need to go to a car shop (halfrauds or somewhere) ask for some head unit release keys, pay for em(or borrow), put them in the holes and bend them outwards towards the doors and pull, and out pops ya stereo!

and thats it, take the old cage out and plug in new stereo and bobs ya uncle, 10 minute job!Ryan

Two screwdrivers, drill bits, a cut up coat hanger... The list is endless...

Easy peasy!

Fitting a stereo into a Clio is a complete b*****d of a job, cause theres not a lot of room! Especially if you get one of the boxes for making the steering wheel controls work! You have to fart about threading wires and cables down into the tiniest of spaces! Ive fitted loads of stereos into Clios (everybody in my family has got one!) and I hate it everytime! But Ive put stereos into Escorts, Peugeots, and in my Freelander, and theres bags of room - enough to hide one of kids, if needs be!!

Good luck!!
