How to remove a car radio without special tools ( keys ) e.g. sony cdx-R3350

How to remove your car stereo. Well it is not that hard if you have right tools. There are many radios which you can remove by just a metal wire, but if you have mine type, you can just use two thin steel knifes, and if with them it is not enough you will have to use pliers as well.
In video you can see Sony Xplod cdx R3350 radio, it is my Honda Accord cc7 1993 V
If you have any questions about wiring or what ever just let me know and I ll try to help u out!

[@TheHomeGMan]

It took me 2 minutes - to get two steak knives - and ten seconds to release the tabs, and have the old stereo out. I re-crimped a lot of sloppy work (by the installer), and was back in 200w of bliss. THANK YOU!!!!!

[@hdjoenne]

I found a method which is a lot easier. All you do is park your car in a shady, bad neighborhood, leave your windows open and return the next day....radio removed :D

[@perezgiovanni12]

Hahahahahahahaha omg boy you got jokes don't ya

[@82_KID]

I had that happen and there is only one problem with this theory: You won't be able to see it removed, because the car won't be there when you wake up in the morning. FOOL :-!!!

[@destineemurdock9707]

Lmao!!

[@LuiPerez4629]

Where I live we call that the hood

[@Midgetlee97]

This guy is not an idiot. Knifes work perfectly, they are thin enough to fit down the side and it easily came out for me. Thank you very much my friend

[@elijahkitcat]

​@Samrat_creation crazy 😭🙏🏻

[@JaquiLilac]

Thanks soooo much !!! After watching your 'Clip' I have easily removed the Car Stereo before the car gets scrapped tomorrow !!! So for all the Ladies out there - it's easy :-) if you watch !!!! Kindest Regards x

[@roryfeeney8863]

Fantastic: I tried for almost an hour with tools from other makes of stereo, all sorts of things. With your method it took 10 seconds! Thanks.

[@fabianmarreroarce7377]

Sorry but I didn’t even finish the video. Took two knives pulled the radio out and fixed the problem. Thank you kindly for the tip my friend; it worked like a charm. 👍🏼

[@dreamyladyx2362]

Thank you very much, I was able to remove my Jensen radio from inside my RV using 2 butterknives :) .. I didn't want to use my good knives. We bought the RV used and found out the CD player eats CD's and I HAD to have my "Eagles Hotel California" CD and didn't have any way to get to it without literally breaking something which I did not want to do. It was in a Jenson Under Cabinet Stereo Housing piece so even after unscrewing from under the cabinet it was enclosed on 4 sides with no way to open. I had to remove from the sleeve, this saved me having to break something!!

[@GoMarcRoberge]

I used 2 butter knives and got a Pioneer stereo out. Thanks man!

[@trevorfrey432]

Thank you for the inspiration. I was able to use two butter knives, and you have to put them in far enough in until you hear a click on both sides, then i was able to somewhat grab the unit with the knives an pulled.

[@junemoon3761]

Thank you very much! I have just successfully removed my car stereo all by myself! :-)

[@jeromelaclavere2977]

Simply to discover that you can simply remove the metal cartridge with a simple pincer make you sparing lot of time in asking yourself if it is possible or not. So, thanks a lot for this video :-)

[@rpc2112]

I feel like I just listened to Borat demonstrate how to remove the stereo player.

[@7mean7bunny7]

Awesome video man. My radio / cd deck had a wire that was shorting out and it was draining my battery while the car was off which caused my battery to die so I had to get jump started. Thanks to this super easy video I was able to remove my deck. I did have to bend a few pieces of metal, but nothing serious, at least the problem at hand is now fixed. Thank you Warmenn.

[@Shannon233xyz]

Same thing was happening to me! Glad to learn what the problem was

[@iceicegoalie-OG]

This is the perfect video for this. Thank you for mentioning how to put it back in starting with the metal casing. Great job!!!

[@themistermax]

Ha. This worked. Got the broken Kenwood out of my old Jeep and put a new one in, in about 10 mins, using two kitchen knives. Thanks!

[@lucasross3714]

Thanks man, I got 6 new stereos so far with this method

[@bartons30]

😂😂😂

[@NeonN3mesis]

This was a great idea. I just had to use smaller knives. This beats spending $6 on little pieces of metal to use once. Thanks!

[@phyllisobeollain1593]

Thank you so much for this video! Got my stereo out in under two minutes using a pair of kitchen utility knives!

[@honeycombkole3185]

I had a special case My 2011 Chevrolet Aveo was different. It had an aftermarket radio from the previous owner. I had to remove the plastic U piece at the bottom of the plastic cubby. I then unscrewed 4 screws holding the cubby and radio in. I took out the entire assembly, then unplugged the wires in the back. The radio was held in by 2 screws on the side (should of been 4 in total for me because it was only on the right side.) Unscrewed them and the radio came free. The screws holding the radio blocked me from sticking a knife into the little pocket. I didn't even have a need to remove the front cover. Please don't just run in and hope it'll come out. Explore the surroundings of the radio and maybe it'll be easier or harder.

[@xxDrain]

Thanks, dude! I just stuck one simple table knife in there on either side, ran a knife through the top and then the bottom to check if any more hooks were holding it in place, then grabbed the radio however I could with pliers and it came right out!

[@82_KID]

Knives are fine with me if they work. Just glad he didn't try to MacGyver it with a gun. Quit hating on this dude. He did good. I just had a radio installed and I don't have sound.. and if I didn't KNOW that my speakers were bad amd beyond blown, I would be Freddie Kruegering my dash to get it out. But I don't have knives. Only guns. :-( .. and the accent is Polish. And I love it.

[@gabrielbanta5098]

Its russian btw

[@tiagovargas8029]

Obrigado cara, ontem passei mais de duas horas tentando puxar o som e não consegui, vendo o teu vídeo, me lembrei q eu tenho um alicate pequeno igual o teu, em menos de 2 minutos tirei o som...

[@AkaSwxg]

I thought this was gonna be simple until the nigga pulled out 2 knives, hell na I'm watching a dif video

[@kiddques]

haha @ the "hell na"

[@StrewB]

AkaSwxg he was white tho

[@micky9229]

+Der BABA I keep noticing this word being used for white people more and more. I've started to wonder why :D

[@xxDrain]

Ehh, it works just fine with knives. There's really no NEED to have special tools. Any thin, long and firm piece of metal will do. Knives fit the bill, they have a handle for easy use. Why the fuk not :P

[@Cooked79]

This video saved me a bunch of head scratching and frustration! Thanks man!

[@filipskorec8723]

Typical Russian: "I will use two knives"

[@affa3373]

you just saved me £15-30!! Excellent video - i've just changed my steroe with minimal effort!! Thanks a million!!

[@IslamicRageBoy]

A miserably small amount

[@falconlips5474]

Actually that was 10 years ago, probably worth £200 in today's money 😂

[@AlexkWright]

Just had to do this myself. If your knifes are too thick pop one side at a time. Works a charm cheers!

[@snoopos]

Thanks for this, managed to remove my car stereo on 10 minutes 👍🏽

[@BonesMcoy]

Thank you so much, no other video helped me get my radio out

[@fredsapps3794]

Works!!! Cool. I used a normal non sharp kitchen knife. Do not be afraid to push hard. I did one side at a time

[@AsifAliyev1988]

Good job buddy, I liked the way he did. I've tried mine to take out. But couldn't get it done. I'll try it the way this guy shows. Almost certain that I will do it

[@johnbuchan341]

easy peasy - took ten minutes which was long enough for me to forget to tell you how it went - thanks!

[@sherylknittel8563]

Thanks this is just what I needed to know. I love the non-specialized tools!

[@BirkinIdk]

worked on my 1997 audi cabriolet I was skeptical but got it out, thanks man !

[@veronicafox5050]

Thanks helped me replace my old radio with one that actually works ☺️👍

[@graceafrifa3775]

This 100% works !! Thanks so much man lifesaver

[@alexmejia292]

This helped me steal a few stereos

[@vd9424]

And if someone catches you while stealing, then you can use those big knives to your advantage :P

[@alexmejia292]

I was just joking.. i tried doing this on an old stock stereo to put a recent one on a ford focus an i ended up damaging the stock.. its much easier buying the removal kit which doesnt cost much at walmart

[@vd9424]

What makes you think that I was serious about stealing stereos using two big knives :P

[@alexmejia292]

Oh lol, thought u was

[@JhourladEstrella]

I was able to replace my old Sentra stereo with a microwave oven without using any special tools just by watching this video. I used a crowbar and a spoon.

[@hacksdp3]

Told me what I needed to know. Nice vid, I'll be in my car with a knife.

[@MrSupercar55]

hacksdp3 I'll just call Freddie Krueger.

[@AnythingWheeled]

I didn't read the description so I really enjoyed when the two knives came out 🤣

[@fabsb0t]

Hey man, thanks so much for showing me how to do it! You are a total legend! I have been trying to do this for months!

[@MiC-T]

Bro, you are a terrible stereo thief...Thankfully. Thanks for the video. I am terrified of working kn car stereos but you made it a little easier for me.

[@3milio0o95]

One tip; Just use a pair of regular table knifes instead, they are much thinner and the stereo slides right out with no need of bending or breaking anything.

[@KagManiac]

Thanx very much worked with my pioneer, no scratches whatsoever. :)

[@shaozhe98]

I did it with 2 rulers, thanks!

[@the.halodoctor]

Couple of small painting pallet knives and a utility size crowbar worked wonders for me A⭐

[@mazzb-public]

I've got the Oxygen O Car Stereo and lost the keys. A couple of places tried getting it out for me with no luck, so will try this. Thanks for posting JUrtan.

[@y.n.7534]

I can't believe I did it!!! Thank you so much for your video. Xx

[@blakegrega347]

Great vid man even years later

[@AWF1000]

Thanks this method helped.. I used 2 screwdrivers to wedge it out

[@BrockLee3]

Great video! But, it won't prepare you for what an idiot is capable of doing when installing a car stereo. I just spent an HOUR trying to take an old Alpine stereo out of a car...I even had the right tools for the job. This is the SECOND KZbin video (out of FOUR videos) I watched to TRY to help me get that stereo out. But, it turned out, some moron decided to SCREW the stereo into the housing. I only found this out by taking the Dashboard apart. So, once again...I say: Great video! I'm sure it would have worked if the person that installed my stereo did it the right way.

[@toni8954]

This should be named "How to remove stereo KITCHEN edition"

[@sotherton]

Thank you. Very clear video. Very useful.

[@JustAnotherSteve]

Saved my nice stereo from the scrap yard :)

[@melvinmeier7621]

thx . i did it with 2 cake shovels and it worked perfectly for my dacia logan 2005

[@lilee45]

Just take it to Brooklyn, somebody will show you how to do it in 23 seconds.

[@geremyhayes1597]

Not wrong

[@illferal2337]

Lol maybe in the 90s

[@outrageouslyrarediamondpep6600]

I'm watching this so later in life I could jack people's cars and steal their radio

[@okiwont346]

well done Pepe. We need more people like you.

[@PatriceIci]

Thanks! This was great. I used two table knives which were very safe.

[@delfeayoferdinand7108]

Well done. I have been trying to find a way to remove a Sony Selectable Drive S Sub-out for two years. To replace the Temperature control unit. Hope your instructions will work. I truly think they will since I don't see any screws securing the radio.

[@sharondutton6543]

Thank for the help; now I don't have to worry about my car battery running down.

[@acharyajamesoermannspeaker6563]

How does one tell the difference in a Polish and Russian accent? "I will use two knives. " Classic.

[@emmabrice9037]

car radio is now out, thank you thank you

[@Trikfinity]

Good video man. Good explanation. Thank you for taking the time to make this.

[@MrSupercar55]

Thanks for sharing. Now I can remove my car's aftermarket radio before I scrap it and buy new car. Freddie Krueger could do that with his bare hands if this video is correct.

[@drillmusicdrilltrap544]

U are the man lol it came out with 2 seconds

[@zhaltees]

Great How To! Finaly got that stereo changed myself thanks to you.

[@johnbuchan341]

two knives - no problems at all - thanks!

[@maxwellfluckiger6829]

Thank you mate!..It worked perfectly! Yes it was my own stereo btw! lol :-)

[@PatrickHemmes]

How do you remove the power and speaker cables?? I tries pushing an dpulling the tapa but they wont release

[@charliejeffriesdrums]

this helped alot thanks!

[@tessaneufville4253]

that is very cool. i like that cause I can't find my keys. Thanks dude

[@helenlynnette7048]

Never would have figured this out myself!

[@Pepeflinco]

Great.. push from the back with the knife's pointy end to the back. great way to get stitches...

[@Knobby_]

was suck, watched this, than everything was easy, thanks

[@GoshaJimenez]

I pushed it in😣 how do I get it out !😞

[@BarryGordon58]

Nice video helpful. Plastic THING is called a bezel, fwi

[@husseinel-hajj7818]

Thank you! I used two knives and it worked :) thanks

[@TeamClueless40K]

Thanks for taking the time, very helpful.

[@TobiasAA]

ah thats nice! i changed the stereo on my boat! took some time, but i nailed it!

[@Xboxlove1]

Can u put it back in again if you put those things straight?

[@JUrtanschannel]

yeah sure, but you have to take out your stereo from it's casing (that metal thing around it) and yeah then install it first with those metal things being straight. After it is in its place you have to push those "things" inwards and finally you have to push your stereo back in it's casing and when it will be in the right place it will lock, as well don't forget to connect all wires before you install it :)

[@juggernaut4978]

Thanks! This worked for me

[@lmw2691]

It worked for me! Thank you!

[@Gottenhimfella]

The second method is different from the first: it pulls out the outer sleeve, and if the person who bent the tabs to make it stay in the car did an enthusiastic job (like my guy) you will have exactly two chances of success with the second method: no chance whatsoever and the same chance as a snowball in hell. There's really no way of telling for sure until the radio is out, which makes the second method not very useful unless you happen to get lucky. One way which has even less chance is to try both methods in combination, which I did in desperation, because this guy did such a poor job of explaining what I said in my first sentence. All you achieve is to jam the radio and defeat the purpose of the first method. ........ Luckily I found a great video by Chris Berry showing the inner and outer sleeves at the start of the clip, so the rest of it makes perfect sense. As Jurtans demonstrates, you don't actually need the proper keys, knives do OK once you see just what you're trying to do, but if you want to do it in style there's a good diagram on the www from Maximpulse showing how to make a simple pair of keys (which incidentally come with every new stereo, but of course the installers do not generally pass them on to the owners) The hard part of the first method is to slide the radio out if you can't get anything onto the back of it to push with: I managed by carefully levering first one side and then the other of the heaviest plastic flange surround with the tip of a blunt knife, with the flat of the knife against the face of the console on either side of the aperture for the radio. This works fine, if you don't have suitable pliers handy, and is possibly less likely to do damage.

[@danejacobson96]

How can you remove the compartment right under neath the radio? Thanks and great video!

[@Ferrexx]

i know it wouldnt happen... but explain how you got your arm cut again sir?

[@michaeljacobs6151]

So basically to summarise, push from the back if not use hair nose pliers to pull it out

[@carlosgonzales5823]

Hay man, I’ll try it blind fold

[@kranthireddy4843]

I have this Sony radio in my carBut USB port is not thereCan you show me how to connect wiring this old player?

[@ilvanezzo]

Plot twist: he is actually stealing a car stereo in this video.

[@theronnking]

[@mackharrison9906]

Thanks dude, you just saved me a some $$!

[@mynameisfin]

[@rodgallagher5566]

Well done,thanks for the demonstration!????

[@johnbuchan341]

[@red2965]

[@deepaktheguru]

Thanks man. Worked like a charm ...

[@bailzbigmac]

Not sure if I need tin knifes or thin knifes

[@lucidbarrier]

[@firstlast8703]

Lmaoo

[@jwark04]

Black people need to use special tools with writing on it "don't shoot this is not a weapon".

[@tobbiemoncrief4244]

First off butterknives not chef knives second you can take a third and pry sideways to pull it out third they have a app for translation if you need it there's nothing hard about installing. or removing a cd player invest in cheap tools they break but are useful for a beginner

[@asinthedaysofnoahandlot4632]

Nice one brother 👍
