They are evil items ... my preferred choice of weapon is a crowbar ... but that can do a bit of damage :hihi:
There are special tools out there to remove the headunit ... and there's a few threads on here about modifying coat hangers to remove the headunit ... sometimes though ... they don't unclip from the cradle and can be a pain to remove.

Last two I took out of my previous cars I had to destroy the whole unit.
The coat hanger metheod is basically cut one up and form a U shape with the wire. Stick it in the holes and hope for the best!

Whereabouts are you located?
You are best to use allen keys around the same size as the holes in the deck or the specially made prongs. These are stronger than the coathanger steel that tends to bend. |

Sorry you are too far away from me to help.
Try the allen keys and sometimes you can get one side at a time free and then it will slide out. Good luck |
