Removing CDR-220 radio

[amitmishra4]

Ah now I see.. I think some model years did use those. I could be wrong but I say that because when my tools arrived, I had another friend over (also an ex- Boxster owner) and he said he knew exactly how to use the tools and he jumped into my drivers seat and tried to insert them and pull them towards and away from each other sort of like in a scissor motion. Judging by the way the notches are on your tools, that explanation now makes sense. Try as he might he could not get it to catch, he swore that's how it was in his car. I believe him because he did a lot of work on his car and he is very knowledgeable and handy. Then I read the instructions that came with my tool and out came the radio after some serious tugging.

These are the ones Crutchfield told me to get to take my radio out. Haven't done it yet, but these guys know their stuff. Mine's an 02 Box, so the year might make a difference?

Giller,
If you haven't bought radio keys yet, you could use the set I have.

That would rock! I'm working on painting my trim/console - didn't realize you have to take the radio out to take off that trim piece. Sweet!

I tried on and off for two days to get my OEM radio out with no luck, I went to a sound shot and told the guys I just want it out.....a guy came out to the car and had it out in 2 minutes....he said 10 bucks....I gave him 20 and felt like I got a bargain.
