Please help! how to get the factory radio out?

[violaGT3]

I am ready to put my interior back in the car with the new speakers but I do not have the reomte wire connected to the radio. I was able to locate which connection to use from a diagram but I do not have the tool nor know what it looks like. If I knew what it looked like I could make it happen. TIA

You need the Becker radio keys. $10-$15 on eBay or $1.80 from Becker or borrow a set from someone.

Takes about 30 seconds with the right tools ;)

That was just the ticket! I have worked car stereo for many years, and just knowing the kind of receptacle, gave me all I needed to make it happen! Big Thanks! MacGyver

Do you really NEED the keys at all if you can get in from above? I'm thinking of doing Tool Pants' cupholderectomy, and he suggests sliding the radio out to make room to get the HVAC control wires up the back. If the cupholders are out of the way and i can get at the top and back of the radio, do I still need the removal keys?

Thanks. Norm
