[@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.

[@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

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@Farsider234]

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

[@FernandoMejido]

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

[@ImHim6Fifty]

Love the hacksaw blade hack! Thanks brotha!!

[@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]

glad it helped.

❤❤❤P

[@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

[@UNKLELUKE86]

Butter knife ❤

[@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

[@diegodeluca5180]

Thanks for this , amazing idea

[@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

[@kaisykaisy]

Thanks a lot , very clear audio and vidio

[@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😂

[@jmondia]

[@ulissescunha6114]

Thanks from Brasil. 😉

[@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

[@SiguysGaming]

thx dude big help

[@DIYChannelSteve]

Thank you

[@Hondaworld323]

Thanks

[@budman214]

now I can steal car radios easily

[@niume7468]

Yes but without the face its useless

[@chassco4483]

mate I got a VH commodore and nothings working whatsoever, been at it for ages and shits not budging. Any suggestions?

[@DIYChannelSteve]

Have a look at this vid, kzbin.info/www/bejne/garIeYqYrtN1ocksi=p4fZFQX8on6sZ90s If the radio has been out before someone could have stuffed the clips and /or glued the radio in. Its hard to tell without looking at it.

[@binizeofficial]

Would you like to review our Car Stereo units ?

[@DIYChannelSteve]

[@radzio40k]

Thank you! I used just 2 knives

[@chesshead3943]

Thanks!!!

[@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

[@mrjon75]

What's a pyanee kay?

[@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?

[@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 :)

[@MuhammadAhmed-zp8mi]

[@abimaelmarceneiro9327]

[@SaveAmerica-TRUMP2024]

[@DIYChannelSteve]

what sort of car do you have?

[@EvertGuzman]

The cable harness is catching on something behind the stereo

[@igornascimento5018]

Mto obrigado

[@cassandrakemara8755]

Nothing works I've tried the keys I've tried butter knives and been at it for hours

[@DIYChannelSteve]

[@cassandrakemara8755]

@@DIYChannelSteve figured it out it's mounted in there completely it's a mitsubishi diamante

[@georgelambrogogle5703]

ausie how to dos' are best

[@DIYChannelSteve]

thanks heaps.

[@patmat.]

Even pushing the latches mine F-ing Pioneer piece of crap won't come out, I need a hydraulic jack or something

[@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 !

[@eivis13]
