    Help! Trying to remove the keys out of headunit, not coming out...

    Hi guys,

    I attempted to fix the dash rattle myself, and I believe I have succeeded.

    I got those radio removal tools, worked like charm and the headunit came out with no resistance at all.

    I am trying to then, get the keys out and re-insert the headunit back in. Having no luck... I got told to press on 'restrain bracket' or such, to press in and get the keys out...

    I just can't understand which bracket. I tried pushing in silver (polished part) near the where clip is inserted with no luck at all...

    So the headunit is currently sitting in the dash with 4 keys stuck in it...

    Can you please help me getting those damn keys out??

    Cheers...

    Yeah the part you press is right next to the tip of the key mate and pull at the same time, they are never too tight, press and pull
    cheers

    Once you have got the unit back in, I'd be interested to hear how you got the dash to be quiet.

    I've recently had a squeak repaired i thought was in the dash / door trim, which the dealer told me was a problem to do with the radiator mounting? Anyway...

    Since then, the dash is now the loudest annoyance in my car...

    First things first tho... Good luck.

    You have to press the metal springs on the side of the unit to release the keys - you have to do this while the unit is still out of the car!
