VW Golf 1995 Sony stereo removal - Cabamaru
Hi all,

I am trying to replace my old Sony XR-6559 cassette player with a new Sony MP3 CDX-GT300 player in my car. Unfortunately the removal keys of the latter don't work for the former.

Does anyone know how can I find out which removal keys are the correct ones?

Thanks in advance

The sony removal keys I have from my radio instalation days (mid 90's) are about 60mm long, 5-7mm wide and 1mm thich. They slid into two slots along the top edge of the head unit when the face was removed.

Are these the one you have for the new unit?

Thanks
