    Ok, its a standerd sized head unit in my car. Its a 5201RDS cassette/Radio. However I am unable to remove it (IE: have no freaken clue how to) There are 4 hows in each coner of the system, however they do not hold screws that I can see. (placing a small alan key in, It seems to go all the way back. Anyone know anything about these cars/head units?

    You need two little 'U' shaped simple wire things which are slightly hooked at the ends .They release the unit and are available in motor factor shops. Not expensive as far as i remember but haven't bought any in last ten years.

    No - any car parts dealer. They are a very basic item. You could possible make a pair using a wire clothes hanger or something similar if you are in a hurry as I don't think too many parts shops open on Christmas night!!!

    there's nothing to it really, you just need to shove something down each of the holes, that releases the catches holding the stereo in. I preferred using small screwdrivers myself because you could then push them against the unit and use them to pull it out, shoving the ends of metal clothes hangers should work fine too though

    well got it all installed and working, just need to get a connection converter for the antena, it is different on the head unit than the connection. The head units connection goes into the system, while the antena's connection is mean for an out ward connection. Ah well. A miner setback :D
