Afternoon all,

Has anyone managed to make or adapt any tool that can be used to slot in the
two small holes on the top of a stock LR head unit. Its in a Disco TD5, and
I can't get anything thin or strong enough in there to do the job.

Of course RAVE talks about a special LR Tool, which is no doubt unavailable
to us mere LR owners and costs a fortune.

VMTIA.

Mung.

If you're referring to the holes at the sides of the stereo (at the sides in
my td5 not on top) then an Allen key is all you need.

Unscrew until they're loose and the radio flips out.

I think you just use a standard "DIN" tool, a couple of Pounds/Dollars
at a local auto sound store, or they may allow you to borrow it for the
"parking lot".

No, I don't think so, they're both on the top edge of the face, if you
like.. about 6mm by 2mm slots. They appear to have some sort of catch
inside.

I might try at the dealers to see if they'll loan me their special fandangle
tool.

Thanks..

Mung.

U can get em from halfrauds for a couple of squid, failing that there are
stereo removal kits on eBay that will remove any type of stereo ( pobly made
for the discerning car thief!)
