    Hi,

    I don't have the means to remove radio either!

    Thanks in advance!

    D
    Here is a video showing how to remove a standard radio from the dashboard.
    A pair of extractors are required (available from Ebay etc ) but these can be made from 2 pieces of bent, wire coat-hanger or 4 small drills(using the blunt end) or 4 small Allen Keys or 4 small screwdrivers or 4 nails or even 4 darts.

    An assistant is useful to pull the radio out whilst you are releasing the 4
    securing clips

    try code 3058.....or 9274
  • Is there not a simpler way, rather than getting the radio out? I've tried holding 6&1 and 6&2 but those same numbers came up, plus this one:

    WF05XXGBB53Y22739

    but i see no M or V followed by 7 digits....

    In a word..."No"

    Try the suggestions in the previous answer or buy the proper extractors off Ebay
