NikpV Posted May 9, 2006 Report Posted May 9, 2006 Usually you can use two bits of metal coathanger - each about 6 inches long bent into a 'U' shape with about 40mm between the ends - insert into holes - push apart (I think) and pull head unit out - Ps no broken nails ;) :lol: :huh: Quote
katman Posted May 9, 2006 Report Posted May 9, 2006 Usually you can use two bits of metal coathanger Metal Coathangers.... now theres a blast from the past. When did you last see a metal one ? All the modern ones seem to be plastic. Not only do they break VERY easily but you cant use them as replacement radio aerials or unwind them to create a useful drain poking tool. I darent even think about the fire risk when using plastic coathangers for the "Blue Peter Advent (candle thingy)" Sorry, cant remember the proper word :huh: Quote
mumof4 Posted May 9, 2006 Author Report Posted May 9, 2006 Well, i used two thin screw drivers and managed to lever the head unit out,Now just got to get the new one playing cds!!.I bought a 6006e head unit.(cd player integrated on it!)I get an error code 3 on it.and can i find my audio guide???no! :huh: Quote

chromedome Posted May 9, 2006 Report Posted May 9, 2006 I think Error 3 is the head unit looking for the cd changer. Quote
mumof4 Posted May 9, 2006 Author Report Posted May 9, 2006 It is a front loading one..the head unit has a cd changer intrgrated in it. Quote
