I need to get a deck out of my car (that was in the car when i bought it) so i can get the aerial connection into the back of it, as ive just replaced my aerial. I didnt get any pins to unclip it from the cradel and cant get the connection into the back of it by removing the ash tray and going through there. Will any pins get the cradel out if i can get hold of some, or is there another way i can get it out ?? Thanks Guy Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

what type of deck is it (wat brand)? pins will be different from tape decks to cd decks if you dont want the deck just grab a pair of pliers and rip the thing outa there :twisted: Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I think its Boss or somthing like that, its a CD deck that some one had in there before i got the car. Does me for now so id like to keep it if possible. Just need to get the aerial in Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

just take the ash tray out and reach up.. works for me...

Tried doing that, couldnt get anything out. Not enough room to pull anything out Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

get a small screwdriver or something and jam it down the side.. or there is always the hammer method :twisted: :twisted:

Yeah i'm getting the hammer point, just want the damn thing to out :P

when i went to get my stock tape player out i only used a hammer, screwdriver, multigrips, plyers and some C4. took some time Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

the only way to go is the hammer method nah as stoney said use two small flathead screwdrivers to act like pins, the whole screwdriver length needs to be flat also (as you would imagine) to fit into the normal pin slots, bit of jiggling those screwdrivers and you should be able to pump that top 40 junk full blast 8) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

when i took out my old deck it was screwed to the frame off the car, i just unscrewed this metal bracket and it p[ushed out the front

Thanks guys will try both methods Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Try ky-jelly mullo....... LOL I had this problem, and went to my local JB-Hifi who were nice nough to look at the head unit, and give me two of those key thingys to put down the sides and voila!!! its out. THe only problem is finding a store that isn't filled with assholes...

Can you actually buy the keys/pins anywhere ?

nah you cant buy them, coz this would alow an everyday car theif to get away with a hefty bag of headunits , as ttx5 said go ask at your local autobarn, or any local car sound store and ask if they can help you out!

Yeah someone like Autobarn should be able to help... If that fails, then use something like a bread and butter knife from the kitchen or something similar and flat. One question though.... if you have a CD Player in there, why would you need the radio anyway? Seems alot of trouble to get it plugged in for the sake of dodgy music, constant ads and antiquated technology.

Good Point but i still want to get it in there Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hey dude.. do u have a berlina/sl or what ? if u got a berlina or sl just take the piece of plastic off that sits under the ashtray bit.. (there are 2 screws that screw in from underneath) anyway.. onece u have this out. u should be able to see with a torch. lay down in the drivers side footwell area lookin up there, with ur legs hanging outside the door.. and u will be able to reach up and plug it in.. works for me.

Yeah Ollie is right... But if that fails... just run down to JB Hi Fi or someone and grab an extender.... ya can get them in lengths from like 10cm to 2m... a short one should only be like $15.00.

I went to Autobarn, asked 4 a set of keys for a pioneer headunit and they gave me a free set.

I left my set in the box, and Autobarn f**king stole them when they put the headunit in :evil:
