General Radio removal

[steve gray]

Does anyone know the correct tool for the removal of CD/ Radio Player for Fiat pander easy 2013

I removed mine with 2 thin screwdrivers. You got to fit one in each hole and feel the unlock inside. Then just pull the radio out by opening a little bit the screwdrivers for the side.

With my Panda as I couldn't find removal keys specific for Panda's I went to Halfords & got Vauxhall double din removal keys, bent them round so they were at 90 degrees , stuck them in the 2 small holes & jiggled it out which only just about did it

Any standard DIN radio removal tools work best. These are U-shaped, come in pairs and normally fit two holes in each side. £3 in Halfords. As mentioned above, bend the U open so it’s L shaped and push the ball-shaped end into the holes in the radio, one each side. (In my case the tool snapped into two bits - even better!). Once you feel them click, push the tools apart a little (left one to the left, right to the right) so they stay engaged in the catches as you pull and wiggle towards you. Once it comes an inch or so out of the dash you can then pull on the case itself.

Anything that fits into the hole and dislodges the catches will work: as above, small Allen keys, small screwdrivers, even standard wire nails - see photos 5 and 6 to see why.

Photos:

1. standard tool (one of a pair)
2. Bent apart…
3. …and (usefully) snapped into two bits
4. One in each side of radio (in your case, either side of CD slot)
5. Close up of the catch the tool engages with
6. Push the tool to side pulls the latch in so the radio comes free
