How to remove a car radio without special tools ( keys ) e.g. sony cdx-R3350 

I found a method which is a lot easier. All you do is park your car in a shady, bad neighborhood, leave your windows open and return the next day....radio removed :D

It took me 2 minutes - to get two steak knives - and ten seconds to release the tabs, and have the old stereo out. I re-crimped a lot of sloppy work (by the installer), and was back in 200w of bliss. THANK YOU!!!!!

This guy is not an idiot. Knifes work perfectly, they are thin enough to fit down the side and it easily came out for me. Thank you very much my friend

Fantastic: I tried for almost an hour with tools from other makes of stereo, all sorts of things. With your method it took 10 seconds! Thanks.

Thanks soooo much !!! After watching your 'Clip' I have easily removed the Car Stereo before the car gets scrapped tomorrow !!! So for all the Ladies out there - it's easy :-) if you watch !!!! Kindest Regards x

I thought this was gonna be simple until the nigga pulled out 2 knives, hell na I'm watching a dif video

Thank you for the inspiration. I was able to use two butter knives, and you have to put them in far enough in until you hear a click on both sides, then i was able to somewhat grab the unit with the knives an pulled.

Typical Russian: "I will use two knives"

Thank you very much! I have just successfully removed my car stereo all by myself! :-)

Knives are fine with me if they work. Just glad he didn't try to MacGyver it with a gun. Quit hating on this dude. He did good. I just had a radio installed and I don't have sound.. and if I didn't KNOW that my speakers were bad amd beyond blown, I would be Freddie Kruegering my dash to get it out. But I don't have knives. Only guns. :-( .. and the accent is Polish. And I love it.

I used 2 butter knives and got a Pioneer stereo out. Thanks man!

thanks alot mate I had a scrappy picking my car up in half hour, with this tutorial I needed just five minutes thanks again

Thank you very much, I was able to remove my Jensen radio from inside my RV using 2 butterknives :) .. I didn't want to use my good knives. We bought the RV used and found out the CD player eats CD's and I HAD to have my "Eagles Hotel California" CD and didn't have any way to get to it without literally breaking something which I did not want to do. It was in a Jenson Under Cabinet Stereo Housing piece so even after unscrewing from under the cabinet it was enclosed on 4 sides with no way to open. I had to remove from the sleeve, this saved me having to break something!!

Awesome video man. My radio / cd deck had a wire that was shorting out and it was draining my battery while the car was off which caused my battery to die so I had to get jump started. Thanks to this super easy video I was able to remove my deck. I did have to bend a few pieces of metal, but nothing serious, at least the problem at hand is now fixed. Thank you Warmenn.

Sorry but I didn’t even finish the video. Took two knives pulled the radio out and fixed the problem. Thank you kindly for the tip my friend; it worked like a charm. 👍🏼

This is the perfect video for this. Thank you for mentioning how to put it back in starting with the metal casing. Great job!!!

This helped me steal a few stereos

Thanks man, I got 6 new stereos so far with this method

Told me what I needed to know. Nice vid, I'll be in my car with a knife.

This should be named "How to remove stereo KITCHEN edition"

Thank you so much for this video! Got my stereo out in under two minutes using a pair of kitchen utility knives!

Thank you so much, no other video helped me get my radio out

This video saved me a bunch of head scratching and frustration! Thanks man!

Thanks this is just what I needed to know. I love the non-specialized tools!

Simply to discover that you can simply remove the metal cartridge with a simple pincer make you sparing lot of time in asking yourself if it is possible or not. So, thanks a lot for this video :-)

Thanks for this, managed to remove my car stereo on 10 minutes 👍🏽

This was a great idea. I just had to use smaller knives. This beats spending $6 on little pieces of metal to use once. Thanks!

you just saved me £15-30!! Excellent video - i've just changed my steroe with minimal effort!! Thanks a million!!

Thanks helped me replace my old radio with one that actually works ☺️👍

easy peasy - took ten minutes which was long enough for me to forget to tell you how it went - thanks!

Hey man, thanks so much for showing me how to do it! You are a total legend! I have been trying to do this for months!

I didn't read the description so I really enjoyed when the two knives came out 🤣

Thanks, dude! I just stuck one simple table knife in there on either side, ran a knife through the top and then the bottom to check if any more hooks were holding it in place, then grabbed the radio however I could with pliers and it came right out!

Saved my nice stereo from the scrap yard :)

Good job buddy, I liked the way he did. I've tried mine to take out. But couldn't get it done. I'll try it the way this guy shows. Almost certain that I will do it

This 100% works !! Thanks so much man lifesaver

Works!!! Cool. I used a normal non sharp kitchen knife. Do not be afraid to push hard. I did one side at a time

Just take it to Brooklyn, somebody will show you how to do it in 23 seconds.

worked on my 1997 audi cabriolet I was skeptical but got it out, thanks man !

Obrigado cara, ontem passei mais de duas horas tentando puxar o som e não consegui, vendo o teu vídeo, me lembrei q eu tenho um alicate pequeno igual o teu, em menos de 2 minutos tirei o som...

Great vid man even years later

Just had to do this myself. If your knifes are too thick pop one side at a time. Works a charm cheers!

I did it with 2 rulers, thanks!

I can't believe I did it!!! Thank you so much for your video. Xx

I'm watching this so later in life I could jack people's cars and steal their radio

I had a special case My 2011 Chevrolet Aveo was different. It had an aftermarket radio from the previous owner. I had to remove the plastic U piece at the bottom of the plastic cubby. I then unscrewed 4 screws holding the cubby and radio in. I took out the entire assembly, then unplugged the wires in the back. The radio was held in by 2 screws on the side (should of been 4 in total for me because it was only on the right side.) Unscrewed them and the radio came free. The screws holding the radio blocked me from sticking a knife into the little pocket. I didn't even have a need to remove the front cover. Please don't just run in and hope it'll come out. Explore the surroundings of the radio and maybe it'll be easier or harder.

Thanx very much worked with my pioneer, no scratches whatsoever. :)

Couple of small painting pallet knives and a utility size crowbar worked wonders for me A⭐

How does one tell the difference in a Polish and Russian accent? "I will use two knives. " Classic.

Thank you. Very clear video. Very useful.

Good video man. Good explanation. Thank you for taking the time to make this.

Thanks! This was great. I used two table knives which were very safe.

Thanks this method helped.. I used 2 screwdrivers to wedge it out

Bro, you are a terrible stereo thief...Thankfully. Thanks for the video. I am terrified of working kn car stereos but you made it a little easier for me.

Always these type of videos that help lol

I was able to replace my old Sentra stereo with a microwave oven without using any special tools just by watching this video. I used a crowbar and a spoon.

thx . i did it with 2 cake shovels and it worked perfectly for my dacia logan 2005

this helped alot thanks!

Thank for the help; now I don't have to worry about my car battery running down.

U are the man lol it came out with 2 seconds

Not sure if I need tin knifes or thin knifes

One tip; Just use a pair of regular table knifes instead, they are much thinner and the stereo slides right out with no need of bending or breaking anything.

Great.. push from the back with the knife's pointy end to the back. great way to get stitches...

Thank you mate!..It worked perfectly! Yes it was my own stereo btw! lol :-)

Never would have figured this out myself!

Great video! But, it won't prepare you for what an idiot is capable of doing when installing a car stereo. I just spent an HOUR trying to take an old Alpine stereo out of a car...I even had the right tools for the job. This is the SECOND RU-vid video (out of FOUR videos) I watched to TRY to help me get that stereo out. But, it turned out, some moron decided to SCREW the stereo into the housing. I only found this out by taking the Dashboard apart. So, once again...I say: Great video! I'm sure it would have worked if the person that installed my stereo did it the right way.

was suck, watched this, than everything was easy, thanks

I've got the Oxygen O Car Stereo and lost the keys. A couple of places tried getting it out for me with no luck, so will try this. Thanks for posting JUrtan.

Nice video helpful. Plastic THING is called a bezel, fwi

Well done. I have been trying to find a way to remove a Sony Selectable Drive S Sub-out for two years. To replace the Temperature control unit. Hope your instructions will work. I truly think they will since I don't see any screws securing the radio.

Thanks! This worked for me

car radio is now out, thank you thank you

Excellent video! Thank you.

Great How To! Finaly got that stereo changed myself thanks to you.

Thanks for taking the time, very helpful.

I feel like I just listened to Borat demonstrate how to remove the stereo player.

that is very cool. i like that cause I can't find my keys. Thanks dude

two knives - no problems at all - thanks!

Plot twist: he is actually stealing a car stereo in this video.

It worked for me! Thank you!

ah thats nice! i changed the stereo on my boat! took some time, but i nailed it!

Well done,thanks for the demonstration!????

yeah sure, but you have to take out your stereo from it's casing (that metal thing around it) and yeah then install it first with those metal things being straight. After it is in its place you have to push those "things" inwards and finally you have to push your stereo back in it's casing and when it will be in the right place it will lock, as well don't forget to connect all wires before you install it :)

shit looks mad funny having two knives hanging out of your radio

Thanks for sharing. Now I can remove my car's aftermarket radio before I scrap it and buy new car. Freddie Krueger could do that with his bare hands if this video is correct.

I used metal finger nail file. Works perfectly

Hay man, I’ll try it blind fold

Thank you! I used two knives and it worked :) thanks

That worked awesome! Very good!

Thanks a lot!!! Very helpful.

"or i dont know how deep you want" :D

Thank you, that is very helpful

Thank you it helped me!

1:03 = jizzed

Thanks - so easy when you know how! :-)
