Removing radio

[Cabriochris]

Sorry im sure this has been asked loads of times before but how do you get the sterio out?
i see it has 4 pin holes, will renualt do this for free or can you make something up yourself to pull it out?
Also what is the bracket like inside, will a new one have to be fitted which comes with the new aftermarket sterio or is the original one ok?

thanks

Four thin nails, four bits of wire, cut up a metal coat hanger, buy the pins from halfords, etc etc...

Takes about 5 seconds and yes Renault would probably want £20 to do it.

As above..
cut up & bent metal coat hangers worked fine for me..

As said above , bent metal coathangers , push them into the 4 holes then pull the head unit out .

buy the correct removal keys they have ridges in them to interlock you then push them outwards and it will come straight out 5 secs and 3quid later

4 thin drill bits. Everyone should have drill bits knocking about.

NO NO NO just buy the god damn keysLOL the amount of dashes ive seen destroyed where people have tried removing head units with the incorrect tools is mind blowing:banghead:

Nothing wrong with the metal coat hangers .If you destroy your dash with them then your a clumsy fcuker :rasp:

Lol, anyone with an ounce of common sense isn't gonna destroy the dash getting the radio out.

you would think but i fit these things all day long and let me tell you ive seen some disasterous attempts the slot head screwdriver being the worse man that can do some damage

 

[The Bear]

You've got to be a complete and utter eejit to try and screwdriver them out in the first place unless you're very gentle and use 4 thin ones.
