can i ask why you want to remove the head deck?

Maybe to replace it, or connect something to it?!?

You need 4 of these type of tools; you can get them off other eBay sites.



Here's one I prepared earlier!

^so that's all u need! wow so much easier than a Toyota (my old Echo was a bitch, had to pull out the side panels)!

well my amp stopped working and apparently it is likely that its just the wiring has just come loose so just wanted to take a looksy

Unluckily for some reason i only have 2 of the key things and now they're stuck in my head deck. woo! lol

I guess i'll have get to get a couple more

[natee]

p.s. when i get the extra key things do i just pull it out? or is there more technique? and what do i search on ebay? lol

[572]

When I did it, the bottom right key locked in and enabled me to pull the headunit out. I had troubles with the keys too, hence why they are still in the headunit lol!

Try this eBay search

so let me get this right? they are disposable? how do you get em out?

Word of advice: if you're buying those keys (or anything else) from eBay - avoid like the plague the seller called Autoware302.

Slowest service ever, and poorest packaging - I placed 2 orders and they stuffed everything into one unpadded thin envelope (but still charged me twice for P&H) one of the keys was poking halfway out of the envelope, it was a miracle I didn't lose anything.

OH and it took 5 weeks to arrive from the US as well. The amount of negative feedback on this mob should've told me something.

Disposable? They can be used over and over again 'til the cows come home but yes you could dispose of them after one use if your heart desires I s'pose. But considering they cost money+shipping to get I wouldn't recommend it.

The ones you could buy off eBay tend to be a bit flimsy but shouldn't give any problem - for a real quality item look to these if you could spare a few extra bucks. You'll need four of the ones that are shaped like steak knives.
