How to remove a PIONEER radio from it mounting cradle

[@grahamnewman2161]

thanks mate. monster in erina wanted $99 from me to do this. won't be going back there for ANYTHING. it's videos like this that make the world a better place.

[@squigl3z78]

I love youtube . I’ve done so much maintenance and replacements on my truck that would cost thousands of dollars if I took it to a mechanic . I’ve spent under $100 for some extensive upgrades and maintenance

[@RODALCO2007]

Thank you, I had forgotten about those little clips on the side, before destroying my car radio I consulted KZbin and found the solution. I used two unmodified Heck sawblades and it worked.

[@carsonfarist8590]

I just have to say hallelujah praise GOD turn to the LORD and ha e all amen!!! Keep doing for the LORD your work doesnt go unnoticed amen!! GOD bless all!!!

[@rob3907]

Thank you very much for that. I was loosing my mind trying to get it out. I'm going to try your way tomorrow.

[@choyandpia9415]

Same herw also, same type with my Suzuki Alto 800 2009 model

[@bharatsaini641]

Yeah same here with me, same car suzuki esteem 1996 and exactly same stereo

[@rolflaub9450]

Thanks. The saw blades worked perfectly for me (I did not even modify them). I used one on either side and used bicycle spokes as hooks to pull the radio out.

[@FernandoMejido]

You saved my live with the saw blade trick mate!! ;)

[@gabrielgochenour8225]

None of these worked. The radio is broke so I just broke it out of the dash with a hammer I’m so tired of dealing with it

[@Farsider234]

Thanks man. Super helpful. I got a new car and am finally switching the radio and this helped a lot.

[@ImHim6Fifty]

Love the hacksaw blade hack! Thanks brotha!!

[@TexasKid747]

Thanks! Two unmodified hacksaw blades did the trick. Antenna restored....

[@EvertGuzman]

I did the same when I installed mine I forgot to plug in the antenna

[@joaovictorv8253]

Me ajudou muito ! Removi a frente do meu aparelho da Pionner, instalado no Fiat Siena ELX 2008... valeu ! Irei fazer uma modificação, melhoria no sistema de som, e para isso é necessário remover o aparelho ! Muito obrigado ! Um abraço, falando diretamente Brasil !

[@DIYChannelSteve]

[@baptboys2]

Thank you very much. You help me a lot because there aren't any explications in the manual.

[@AA-fg3wj]

Thanks, I used two cheap steak knifes and it worked to get my Pioneer out.

[@madsaaaaaac3195]

what did u use to pull out ?

[@GrandemagicoWall]

Thnx bro, I was about to screw up

[@viktormiskovics1983]

Thanks. I've used two butter knives😀 and a hook to pull it out.

[@melinarichter9786]

Danke❤️ich war am verzweifeln weil ich nicht so ein Schlüssel habe😂

[@mateokovacic4730]

Hi, do you know how to remove the cradle ? I need to put in another radio but the cradle seems block the new radio. Thanks

[@DIYChannelSteve]

it should just have some metal tab bent inward holding it in

[@mateokovacic4730]

Yes indeed. I found those metal tabs bent inward. They have to be bent outward to remove the cradle, and it's really really hard and tricky to do it. I don't know why Pionneer making the cradle like that. Maybe to prevent us to put in another type of radio and buy only Pioneer. Thanks man

[@budman214]

now I can steal car radios easily

[@niume7468]

Yes but without the face its useless

[@diegodeluca5180]

Thanks for this , amazing idea

[@UNKLELUKE86]

[@kaisykaisy]

[@ulissescunha6114]

Thanks from Brasil. 😉

[@mrjon75]

What's a pyanee kay?

[@kozhedub]

The keys are super flimsy and bent when I tried to replace my partner's radio, I grabbed two butter knives and it worked way better

[@KnifeHex]

What keys? You call those things keys? Even a chopped credit card does a better job lol.

[@KadenBarriga]

The real tips are always in the comments. 👍🏼 thanks for this, worked like a charm

[@khouston2683]

Does that actually work, I need to replace mine but I don’t know where the keys are

[@KadenBarriga]

@@khouston2683 yes it actually works. Used this trick on mine about a month ago.

[@kozhedub]

@@khouston2683 just make sure whatever you use is thin enough to slide into the space, you could use regular knives as well

[@stuartmurray2094]

The radio that i have is a factory radio and i don't know how to get it out

[@DIYChannelSteve]

what car do you have?

[@SaveAmerica-TRUMP2024]

i have new pioneer cd player and it won't come out of dash. pulling keys do not work. the problem is not releasing the cd unit from cage is how to pull it out after its released??? i cant push unit from back and pulling on plastic face of unit will break it...FAIL PIONEER FAIL!!!

[@DIYChannelSteve]

what sort of car do you have?

[@EvertGuzman]

The cable harness is catching on something behind the stereo

[@radzio40k]

Thank you! I used just 2 knives

[@kadyvega0142]

I got mine out but it’s a little stuck...

[@DIYChannelSteve]

It might have some wires caught behind it. Can look behind the dash?

[@kadyvega0142]

It did, I ended up getting it out. Thank you :)

[@GeorgieGeorgeable]

Even using a pioneer key I can’t fucking do it… both keys have been inserted they have clicked into place but I can’t pull the unit out and the keys are now stuck

[@DIYChannelSteve]

sometimes the unit might have a backstrap on it. If you can get you had behind the unit you can feel if there is one.

[@GeorgieGeorgeable]

@@DIYChannelSteve thanks for your reply it’s because i hasn’t fully inserted the key. I heard it click in place and thought that was what was needed but the key needed to be pushed all the way in to be able to pull the head unit out. Thanks for your help !

[@MuhammadAhmed-zp8mi]

this is suzuki margalla isn't it

[@Hondaworld323]

[@SotoMelissa]
