how to remove 106 radio

Gem unleashed:

if its the same as the 306, try searching Google Groups as I remember someone mentioning the use of slim handled spoons to get it out..

A metal wire coat hanger, cut the corner angles off (so they resemble: < > ), push one end of the wire each side of the radio about half way down the vertical sides, this should push the clips out of their seating. Then, using the angle of the coat hanger, pull towards you..

Their may be a surround on the 106 for the head unit that you have to pull off first, or either side of the radio may detatch to allow access to the clips? ... Im not overly familiar with the 106.

The radio should slide out fully, or at least enough for you to slide it the rest of the way with your hand.

Instructions with your new radio will tell you how to put that in.

Once you're done, take the coat hanger corners out of your car, you don't want to be stopped with a pair of them in your car.

If it's the same as the 306 and I think it is, there are a couple of small slots UNDER the radio. I bought a couple of special plates which slide into the slots and release the radio. This was after trying to dismantle the whole dash BTW!! as I thought that was the only way to get it out.

HTH
