Errrrm How do I remove the original Sony Head Unit?

Recommended Posts

Without using a hammer!

 

Sorry proper newbie question this but does it just pull out? Or is it screwed in?

 

Thanks :oops:

get down to hellfrauds, they usually have the tools to extract the unit. either that or a slide couple of big kitchen knives between the trim and the cage that holds the head unit i place. it has about four tabs that are bent down on the bottom and up on the top to anchor the cage in place. it's a bit fiddly but it works! good luck boss.

I went to my local ice shop and bunged them 2 quid to get it out, but IIRC there are 4 small holes that you poke the tool into and this releases the radio from the cage.

Not just any hammer... Look closely! :lol:

 

But yeah Sony's tend to have the 4-pin arrangement, hosever the cages are made of monkey tin and if you can get a decent grip on it (and some brave pills) it does just pull out!

 

My 12yr old Sony & 10-disc changer's been through 5 cars now!

Cheers! :D

 

If i had the mighty hammer of Thor then I would of course have used it!

 

Plus I would also fly around the world hitting people on the head with it but thats a whole different ball game....

If it's the type with four holes, a metal coat hanger cut into two 6" lengths and bent back on themselves so that the two ends fit in the two holes always works a treat.

Sorry to hijack this thread but....

I have just taken my standard sony CD head unit out of my raddo - do people still want these or is it pretty much worthless?

Cheers
