Hi,

I have a 2003 Punto and the factory blaupunkt head unit won't come out. I have tried with the din removal pins and with cut coat hangers and kebab skewers. But I think a previous owner might have damaged the clips.

Is there any other way to get the head unit out? Ideally without damaging it because I am trying to add an after market bluetooth adapter to it.

Thanks!

I found it impossible to get mine out until I discovered it would come out quite easily if I pushed outwards? on the pins while pulling the pins towards myself.

Been a while now and it might have been I tensioned the pins inwards away from the doors while pulling the radio out but it did easily come out.

I got it out using 4 coathanger wires but it was just as difficult with the original removal pins when I found them, if I did not push sideways as I pulled

Thankfully I didn't have to go quite that far... Got it out. It just took a lot more force than I thought it would. Thanks!

dont forget to peruse the guides section so you wire your new unit up right

your car could be an old shape or new shape on this year so choose wisely glasshopper:)
 
Hello
Is there any chance you could send me a pic of your radio. Am looking at putting the standard one into my daughters car. But when I search for them 2 different looking ones come up.
