Technical Original Grundig Radio Removal - How?

[Zem]

Asked how much to send and do they have the code.

Code What code? Admittedly I have the clarion unit and have never had to enter a code, even after it was taken out to be fixed the radio repair shop

Not yet.

I'll be trying some of the other recommendations. I don't have the version with the slots, I have the one with the 4 small holes:

I need to get the Clarion stereo out of my B,. Anyone got any ideas without damaging the unit or the dashboard?

it's the second one listed here:

And this was the second one listed

Wires crossed somewhere

Will wait to see if the toothpicks work.

I take it the second head unit will take a CD multi changer?

 

[Zem]

Yep, six cd multichanger - mine is bolted into the boot, which meant a small cut in the boot mat.

Did you ever get this out?

I think you need two pieces of metal that slot into either side of the unit. There are two rubber strips on the front that can be removed

Sorry - have been away for a week so no response. stil haven't managed to get the stereo out as yet. tried with a bent coathanger having taken off the rubber strips but felt that i was about to snap it, so stopped. think i might have to go to someone to get it out. any other ideas?

 

[Zem]

These are the metal plates that you need to remove the Clarion radio with, fortunately I was given these with the car. [Located them again after putting them in a safe place.]

Sounds like you may need to go to a car audio shop if you haven't got anything like this.

[Thanks for the pictures - i don't have the metal keys so looks like a trip to an audio shop.

You could always use a hammer

Hiya,

While we're on the subject of radios, I have the original, but I've got my iPod casette adapter stuck in it (already - and I've only had the car two days, what am I like?!) - any ideas how to get it out? The eject button is stuck in and won't budge . . .

Also I've got MW but no FM on the radio - any ideas on that either?

Many thanks,

Gill

Use an hammer
You could try gently but firmly pulling on it I mean the wire from the cassette as you push the eject button Otherwise it may mean pulling it out and stripping it all down to get it out Where's Robot when you need him??

 

[Robot]

Pulling on it usually helps

Anyone got more detail on the coathanger trick? Trying to get my stereo out (4-hole stero type). Thought it sounded too easy!

 

[BILL33]

Use toothpicks!

 

[johnny366]

Done it - pics later...

Here you can see the two catches that need to be released with the aforementioned toothpicks or coathanger:
