How do you remove a sony radio? my truck has a older sony one and i want one with more options. but before i buy one, i want to see if i can change it easily. i think they all use the same wiring harness and they are the same size so all i need now is to get the old one out! is there a special tool for sonys or does it just pop out or what. i bought a removal tool and it doesnt work. no holes to use. it kinda looks like it just pulls out but im not sure. i dont want to break anything.

if you take the beauity ring off... on each side of the radio there is a slot that is real thin to slide a tool that comes with the radio to unlatch it from the bracket. the tool reminds me of a minature slim jim. I have to run but i can explain better a little later

well i dont have the tools. the radio came with the truck. no tools or manual. is there something else that will work? i cant find the keys for one that old anywhere. not even ebay. |

Like these other guys said... Anyway, even if you buy another sony it probably will use a different harness. But, it might come with the tools for removing the current one. Even if doesn't the idea will be similar so you can get the idea.

If it has a pocket stick your hand in it and pull. It should pop out . The kits for your truck just snap in. so what should i do? |
