    You may need 2 sets..... Depending.

    Halfords on the Belgard Road will sell both.

    1) A pair of small DIN size radio removal keys like so.... CLICK ME
    2) A small Allen Key (not sure which size) like so.... CLICK ME.... to remove the little grub screws (if they're there. Some Opel radios don't have them in)

    See THIS LINK for a video (it just happens to be an Astra in the video too... Handy :))

    Sorry for draggin this up again but changed the radio fine but it will not store station frequency memory.

    In my passat this was because the trickle feed from the battery and the main power leads needed to be swapped, from the manufacturer to pioneer radio.

    Simple case of this in this instance also??

    Opels/Vauxhalls generally need the exact same cabling switchover as VW's. Most headunits have the cabling to the ISO blocks easily designed for this... check the radio manual first though!
