Hey has any got an idea of how i go about getting the tape player unit out of my polo. Someone suggested to try and find a set of CAD Value VW/Audi Radio Release Keys? any more ideas?

i read somewhere that you can use a old plastic card (membership cards, credit card etc) if you cut 2 pieces up into the right size and just stick both of them into the small slots on both sides. Haven't tried it yet, but should work

hope this helps
