Hi Guys,

I REALLY need some help here, i've been trying to get the thing out for
over an hour and I don't know how to do it.

Sony XR-4759RDS in a 1998 VW Polo (UK)

I've searched the net and found a really poor website with poor
instructions.

I need some really detailed instructions, i.e. how to get the thing
out, how far to push keys in, where they go, do i need to turn them,
how many do i need etc...

Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

Thanks.

Derek

Presuming they are the same as the Sony Explod ( which I have no longer so
this
is from memory ) which had the tools like this http://tinyurl.com/5q6tyj

remove the facia and then the trim surround and you will see the slots (two
pairs of holes)
insert the keys slowly you will feel them click leaving about 2- 3 inches
sticking out

> do i need to turn them,

no apply gentle pressure inwards and pull towards you - you may ( very
probably) need
to grip the body of the radio as the cage tends to want to hold on

> how many do i need etc...

2 needed

Hope that helps there is an alternative key like a pair of big hair grips
but the principle is much the same.

oops thats if its the hairgrip type the ones I linked to obviously are
narrow slots close to the edge of the radio
