This is how aftermarket car radios are mounted in a dash kit. With this info you can easily pull out your car stereo with minimal effort.

Showing how the unit works outside of its setting so that you can understand the logic of the mechanism is brilliant - a helpful, clear video - thanks!

This is simply a great video. Thank you. Concise, clear, and no BS. And you offer an option if you don't have those tools. I've gone two summers with a crap stereo hardly working. Now it looks like it can be fixed without costing me a fortune. Thank you very much for posting the video.

Brilliant video. I was too excited to get my stereo installed that I didn't bother to check how it would be removed. Once I heard the click after pushing the head unit in I went uh-oh. You've made a very clear and concise tutorial and I feel confident I can get my head unit out without breaking anything. Super helpful. Thanks!

I'm removing my stereo from my old car to put in a new one. I've gotten the stereo itself out no problem but how do I remove the mounting cradle/mounting sleeve that's still inside the hole where the stereo was? Looks like 4 tabs are pushed down and I can't see how to get in there to push them back up again to remove the cradle. Thanks very much!

Or you can just use some thin butter knives . Had to do that before on a car I bought that had no face plate for the stereo because the owner misplaced it and I didn't want to keep the stereo since I had something better . Worked like a charm .

Hello. Great tutorial. I have a Sony CDX-S2000 Car Stereo, but unfortunately i think my remove button got broken (it's just a small thin piece of plastic in the back of the front panel) so now i can't remove the front panel of it. Is there a way to access a supposably "hook" inside the Car Stereo body that could permit me to take the front panel again? Many thanks in advanced.
