Removing CAR 200 from corsa

Hi all
I am going about removing a CAR 200 from my 2000(W) reg corsa envoy.
Its a bugger!
I have read on the internet about sticking a pointed object into the 4 holes
at the sides to prise the catches off.
I am really getting no results with this, even with two people.
Can anyone advise me on the proper way to remove this. Even a guide would be
superb, but im not going to ask for the world!
Thanks in advance
Sam

 

It should be easy enough if you get the tool specifically designed to do
this. I got one today from Halfords car audio department for £4.29 (in my
local shop [Bracknell], it was in one of the glass-fronted cupboards they
keep locked up). It's basically a pair of u-shaped bits of metal with
prongs at each end designed to click into the catches - you can then pull on
the base of the u-bits to remove the stereo. £4.29 is a bit of a rip off
for two bits of metal, but it did the job. Other shops may well be cheaper.

Thanks a million.
Just showed this to my dad, he said great, and told me to ask you what your
gonna do with the prongs now you've used them - he told me to try and get em
off ya for £2, lol
Thanks mate

The tool costs about 4 quid or so from Halfords, or you can make one up with
2 bits of bent coat hanger. You might have to remove 2 tiny (1mm?) allen
keys from the holes first.

 

Your local Vauxhall dealer will probably do it for free. It takes about a
minute with an Allen key and the removers.
