The "keys" are about a 1/4" wide by about 1/16" thick and about 4" long. Anything around that size should do the trick. You'll need two.

 

they look like this:

idk how I can make some of those....

Any idea on something that I could use instead?

 

The flat part is what removes the radio. The hooked ends are for pulling on. Got any local stereo shops? I loan my out all the time.

 

would they just let me borrow them??

even if I definitely don't buy anything from them?

 

I do all the time. Unless the guys are complete butt heads, i don't see why they wouldn't.

 

This where you need to kiss ass to the installers, and get in with them.

Otherwise, do you have access to 2 jigsaw blades?

Or if you got a bench grinder, you can make these radio keys.

 

just take the cage out...

 

There are many mounting options, you could try and try with those keys in my car and you will fail.. because it's ISO mounted... screwed to the dash... no cage.

What kind of car, can you be sure there's a cage? You should be able to see the cage lip.

 

i got some keys at the local shop


they just gave them to me
