Hi Guys,

Is there anyone who lives in Hemel area and has got a removal keys for the original car radio? I just need to remove that think so don't realy want to spend £10 for something I'll never use.

Cheers

Have a search on here - it may just lead you to an alternative!

Try taking the tray box out under the radio, I'm almost certain it will be able to wiggle out then.

Cut two strips from an old credit card that fit in the two holes in the front of the radio.

Push them in the holes.

Pull out the tray under the radio.

Wiggle the radio 'till it comes free.

Don't pull it too far out - it has short wires attached to the back.....

If you go down to your local, VW / Audi / Seat / Skoda dealer and ask them nicely they will remove it for you in the car park.......I have done this on three seperare occasions now at my local VW / Skoda dealer.....

Just looked in the thread "HeadUnit suggestion" and there is a clear photo of a newer MP3 Symphony head - the holes don't seem to be there.

If you look closely there are two slots on the head unit you mention;

1) Between the AIM and CD buttons on the left hand side;

2) Between the A/F and TP buttons on the right hand side.

Photo is either not that clear then or I'm doing my famous Mister Magoo impression!

Thanks guys for your suggestions. I've used two plastic strips (from old club card) and after 10 minutes of wiggling I've managed to take it out. Afterwards I've installed my Alpine radio and everything is working perfect now.
