This is how aftermarket car radios are mounted in a dash kit. With this info you can easily pull out your car stereo with minimal effort.

Finally a explanation of how the latch mechanism works with a clear view ! No aussie accent and shakey long distance shots.

Showing how the unit works outside of its setting so that you can understand the logic of the mechanism is brilliant - a helpful, clear video - thanks!

you're the man, explaining how the actual 'lock' works is a new one, i've been trying to find a solution to getting my defected radio out for a week now and you're the only one that explains how it ACTUALLY works, niceone mate!

I don't have the keys but you are a legend for explaining this succinctly.

This is simply a great video. Thank you. Concise, clear, and no BS. And you offer an option if you don't have those tools. I've gone two summers with a crap stereo hardly working. Now it looks like it can be fixed without costing me a fortune. Thank you very much for posting the video.

Brilliant video. I was too excited to get my stereo installed that I didn't bother to check how it would be removed. Once I heard the click after pushing the head unit in I went uh-oh. You've made a very clear and concise tutorial and I feel confident I can get my head unit out without breaking anything. Super helpful. Thanks!

This helped a lot. I was able to remove the stereo from my car before the tow truck took it to the wreckage yard.

Thanks so much for this. If only everyone’s videos were so clear and concise!

[rafaelbovi]

Wow! What a thorough and professional video by a true professional! Thank you!

[markquiles]

Awesome!! ..and now I won’t break anything trying to remove my pioneer Bluetooth stereo from my old car

[sarahcrouse]

Very helpful video! My old car's a piece of junk overall, but I wanted to keep that sweet radio lol. Will try with butter knives or something 'cause I don't have the keys

[sqmilenews]

Brilliant. I did not have a clue before watching this. And yes, I still had the keys! Vital.

Thanks man, currently sitting in someone’s car trying make some quick cash.

[jacindapeck]

Thank you! Plumber strap or Simpson Steel!!!

[vdcwalk]

Who needs keys when you can use butter knives???

[chupacadaveres]

Why the dislikes? This was perfect. Thank you!

[artincorona]

Another great video that covers the basics that most people don't know. Thanks

[kevinlee]

Still relevant almost 5 years later, because the stereo in the 28 year old car I just bought is at least that old.

[vinny]

Thanks for the clear explanantion, but what happens when it doesn't work? Please help me troubleshoot as my stereo is not budging no matter how hard i try to release the locking tabs.
