Old wire type coathanger is best.


Now pulling each to their respective side, ie pull the right towards the drivers door and then left towards the passenger door, also pull both handles towards the back of the car and it will just pop out.

Excellent advice apart from two little points...

1. I find it impossible to find any old type wire coat hangers. I guess they are no longer made?

2. Fazeel is in Bahrain, I think they drive on the opposite side of the road to us.

Yeah, we have left hand side driving over here,
Does that make a difference ??

Nope. When you insert the double din tools (into the holes where you removed the screws) the L/H one push to the left and the R/H one push to the right

ok wait wait,
Just two more things,

1. After my first unsuccessful try when I was screwing back the screws, they just seemed to go deeper and deeper inside, so I didnt tight them up, so that they stay at the front, if thats okay ??

2. When I insert the double din ( old coat hanger ) it hardly has space to wiggle in the holes, what do I do ??
and do I press it towards the left so that the inside goes towards the right ( for the left side )

Put both tools in press the left out to your driver`s door, press the right out to your passenger door

Press both tools towards the doors, left to in your case, driver`s and right to passenger`s[/color]

you lot crack me up..

You bunch of pillocks! 

The allen screws are simply there for extra secuity, thieves won't bother undoing them and just move onto another car - yeah right! Sledghammer the dash out the way more like.

They just do up enough to be flush with the surface really.

Wire coathanger, push with force into the holes to get about 50mm in side. Then pulling both 'tools' away from the centre of the radio to the sides quite hard and gently towards you at the same time, the radio will just slide out.

Sorted.
