Got a new headunit arriving tommorow, and I will need to remove the old one first. It's an old JVC unit and the manual says to use some handles, which I understand are keys used to pull it out. I don't have these keys as the radio came with the car and they weren't supplied.

Do I have to use these specific keys or is there another way? I would prefer not to have to purchase keys for one task.
 
It's an aftermarket JVC unit.

Is a flat bladed screwdriver likely to damage it, I would put this one back in when selling the car.

***** option:

Go to Halfords, collect one of each type of key they sell, ask if you can try to see which one fits your radio. It's really easy to get the keys out without damaging the packaging. Go to car, extract radio, put keys back and complain that none of them fit.

Don't do this to a decent indie shop, but Halfrauds are fair game :)

Hehe, I might see if a mate (mechanic) has any.

Edit: actually thinking about it, would PCI slot cover plates do the trick? :D
 
Got the old one out with the PCI slots, now I'm trying to connect the aerial connection.

It doesn't seem to fit, do I need some sort of adaptor?
 
Hmmm, well I've just found out the unit doesn't even power on. Can't think why though....

edit: don't worry, I sorted it.
