VW Radio Removal Tool? QUICK!

[method]

Does anyone have, or know where I could get locally a VW radio removal tool (2001 Jetta single din I believe) Does Walmart or Best Buy sell these? I guess it's not as simple is a coat hanger like the other removal tools I have seen. I might hack up an old CC if I can't find one.

BestBuy does. Simple way to get rid of the radio.... loose the car! :rofl: The radio would be gone for sure.

Check the VW forums, there are walkthroughs on this

go to vwvortex.com

vwvortex is a giant pile of bull****. I avoid that site like the plague.j

As for the 'get rid of the car' . It's my cousins car. I'm installing a stereo in it while he's in Iraq.

i just used a spark plug gap tool and slid one of the thicker blades in to get the radio out of the jetta when i had it.

Got some from walmart, only $3. Damn drivers side tabs were bent though from the previous owner. It was a roytal pain in the ass.

lol yes too bad i didn't see this in time.

removal of the stock stereo is a pita.

also if you want some good forums for VWs i would rather go to here

vwvortex is ok for classifieds, but the bentley publishers technical discussion forums have WAY more expertise, I had found way more solutions here than vortex when i had my vdub.
