Hi All

Is there a way to get the Factoru HU out without a proper tool ?

I took the dashboard out around it on a TD5 (bless Defenders). Hopefully a newer one isn't much harder.

if it helps you, halfords will (if you ask correctly) let you use their keys (make them think you want to see the connections on the rear to help you buy something from them)

or you can buy them for like £3-5, they're usually open til 8 or later Cheers, David

Nope, you need two proper steel/plastic sticks.

You can remove the whole centre panel (the bit with all the switches and clock on)

Just need the right torx head and then use a large flathead screwdriver to pry it forwards at the edges, not too hard.

You can then push in the bits that hold the radio into the cage manually Cheers, David
