    Melbourne - Anyone with stereo removal keys?

    Hey can anyone in Melb help me out with stereo removal? I went to the VW dealer and they couldn't get me the removal keys for the stereo, and I can't really be bothered waiting for one from overseas. Does anyone have the that I could borrow for a night?

    Otherwise has anyone tried the ghetto method of using wire hangers or cut up credit cards? If so, is it easy? I just don't want to waste my time.

    BTW it's for a Mk4 Bora in case it's different.

    Any good auto parts strore should have it. Cost around $20 and it will do most EU cars. You can cut the shape with the scissors from the old credit card too.

    If it is the stock Blaupunkt head unit...
    Use a few small screwdrivers into the 4 holes.

    1 hole in each corner of the unit.
    Push them in, the clip moves back,
    Wiggle the unit out.
    Send me $20 for my advice.

    I used cut up credit cards.

    Bit of fiddling around, but it works a charm!

    I'm in Glen Iris and I have the full set of removal keys. I work in Burwood if you want to borrow them, no worries.
