my radio wont come out.
I unscrewed all 5 tiny screws but it wont slide out
What do I do to get it out ??
I didnt use much power to pull as I didnt want to break anything.
I was wondering if I have to take out something else before the radio, like some buttons or the ashtray thingy or something
actually I want to get the air con out at the end,
so a little on how to get to it
-
You got the double din keys as well? Won't just fall out after taking out the grub screws ::) if you still can't get it out with keys find a local youth ;D
-
ok wait, I just saw how to remove it in the maintenance section,
But my question is,
Do I need to remove everything to remove the air con, actually I want to remove as less things as possible since I dont know anything about this stuff and wouldnt want to make a mess,
so do I need to remove the whole cage and ashtray and the buttons ??
and my radio still wont come out, what removing tools do I use ??
and how do I use them to remove the radio ??
Please help !!

Your sounding just like a local youth ;D ;D

Old wire type coathanger is best.
Cut two lengths about 1ft long with some pliers. Bend wire in such a way that you can get about 2" into the top and the bottom holes on the right and the same on the left so you end up with two virtical 'handles'. 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.

The 'local youths' that are local to me use screwdrivers...

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 :y

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! ;D
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.
