Default Ford audio screwdrivers

Hey Guys,

I have an ED Fairmont and i had an aftermarket HU installed a couple of years ago as a birthday present. The unit has a rear AUX, i don't want to go buy the cable if im gunna have to pay some one money to install/fit it as i know that its a relatively easy job to do (ummmm just plug it in where it fits pretty much lol)

My problem is that unlike other cars in my family, my ED has those stupid ford security screws on the headunit supprt so people can't steal my HU. question is where do i get this screwdriver? or is there anyone in the south easter melb suburbs that would be kind enough to lend it to me overnight or even just for five minutes at their place?

Thanks in advance

Mostafa

Can get cheap security torx set at Dick Smith for around $15, they break easily though, Bunnings sell a higher quality set for around $30-$40 if you want something that you can use again
