Car stereo removal pictorial

Find first the special car stereo (car radio) removal tool.
It's a pair of U-shaped steel wire tools (DIN standard) or flat steel plates (SONY).
Insert the U-shaped tools in their intended holes then gently pull out your car radio unit.
The picture to the left shows how the tool eliminates the effect of the car stereo holders.
Keep holding it with one hand at all times to avoid scratching the dashboard...
...while disconnecting the wire harness connector with the other hand.
