Description

This is a set of universal stereo removal keys, also known as release tools, specifically designed for OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) car radios with horizontal release slots. This essential, reusable tool allows you to safely and easily unlock and remove the factory-fitted stereo from your dashboard without causing damage to the radio or surrounding trim.

How They Work:
Insert one key into each of the small horizontal slots on either side of the radio's faceplate. Push them in fully until you feel a click or release. Gently but firmly pull both keys outward together, and the stereo unit will slide out of its mounting cage.

Vehicle & Head Unit Compatibility:
These keys are compatible with the majority of factory stereos that utilize horizontal release slots across several automotive brands. The provided application list shows verified compatibility.

  • I have made multiple purchases from this company, and their service consistently exceeds my expectations. Last week, I urgently needed some parts and, based on my previous positive experiences, I chose TINKR once again. As expected, their service was exceptional. A special thanks to Greg at TINKR for a job well done.
