John Harry Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 For about 2 months ago my radio started requesting the safe code each time I have had stopped the engine. I enter the code and its ready again, but why?Sometimes, more and more often I also the the error: "Safe pin not connected" or similar. Then I press OK 1, 2 or 20 times (while waiting a couple of seconds each time) and the it starts. The car is a Ford Galaxy 03/2001 from Germany and the radio is the double din navigation system with cd-changer in the back. I wanted to remove the radio but cannot figure out how to do so. When removed, I wanted to test if the power is connected of a fuse is blown. Is there a battery build into the radio? anybody with instructions on how to remove the radio? Please let me have your comments. Thanks in advance. /John Quote

Thanks in advance. /John radio can be removed with two bits of bent coat hanger in a U shape - about 2 inches long and the pitch of the twoprongs to match the 2 holes on either side of the head unit - the u pieces need to be pushed in and then either need to spread apart or pushed together(I cant rememnber which :rolleyes:) whilst pulling the head unit out towards you Quote
John Harry Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Posted January 19, 2012 I don't see the holes.. I might be blind, but sometimes its hard to see the trees when the forest is blocking the view :unsure: I have attached a picture of the unit. /John Quote
