4 PCS Car Radio Removal Pry Tool, U/V-Shaped Stainless Steel Auto Stereo Release Tool Kit, Universal Radio Remover for Disassembly of Most Vehicle Audio Frequency Converter

For Ford and similar vehicles that have factory radio systems, this type of tool is necessary to remove the radio from the dashboard. The metal tool engages some latches that lock the radio into the dash, allowing it to be removed. I tried some other versions of this tool available locally at Walmart and at Autozone, and they did not work. However, this set actually worked as expected and I was able to remove the radio from the dashboard. The kit comes with four tools. Two of them are used with a single DIN radio, and all four of them are used with a double DIN radio. The important factor that makes this toolset work well is the shape of the ends of each tool. They are shaped to properly insert into the holes and solidly engage the latches to retract them. Once the latches are retracted, the tools are used to pull the radio out of the dashboard. The shape also makes it obvious when the tools have been inserted properly to engage the latches - you can FEEL it click through the tools. They are made of metal and are more than strong enough to remove the radio without bending or breaking of the tools. If you have a vehicle that requires a tool of this type to remove the radio, I highly recommend purchasing this specific brand. It works very well and is easy to use, and they are durable enough to be used many times. I don't think it's possible to damage them, so this would be a one-time purchase to add to your toolbox forever. It is definitely worth the price.

Works on 205 Ford Explorer Sport Trac with factory radio. I used the large of the two sets. The indentation at the end of the tool should face the radio.

simple to use

Sturdy, works well.

As expected for some solid bent wire. I probably could have saved some money to just use a wire coat hanger cut into a couple small pieces and bent into up shape, but these did just fine and now I'll have them forever tucked into my tool box if i ever need them again.

If you want to remove the radio from your Fox Body Mustang, you will want and you will need this tool. There are two little holes on each side of the radio that provide security to prevent easy theft. This key pushes down the tabs to help with removal. They gave me a little problem but persistence got the radio out. Without these, I would never have made it without damage to the dash. I recommend these for anyone contemplating removal of their radio.

I decided to try the Dickno because they offered a four pack at a reasonable price and the measurement between the prongs looked like it would fit with a little compression. I needed all four because my style radio (2003 Ford/Mazda) required two sets per side. I also had the advantage of having a replacement radio in hand to look at and try these before removing the old one. My main concerns were that they would have a nicely machined bevel and a cut out slot that would engage my latching mechanism. I was not disappointed. The ends of the clips are very nicely machined, angled correctly and with no burrs. For this radio, insert the clips with the slot toward the inside of the radio. They slid over the latches with a very nice click. Then, spread the clips gently out (away) from the radio and it should pull right out! These are not going to let go on the way out. Nice job, Dickno!

These worked on my 2015 Fiat 500e to remove the radio.
