Alpine removal keys

[glenn3]

Anyone know where I can get my hands on a set of alpine removal keys?

I need to send my head unit away to get the clutches repaired but I cant find a set of keys anywhere, I've tried halfords and all the other web sites but with no joy.

Every other make available apart from alpine!

you mean to get the deck out of the surround?

if so you'll never get it out like with a removal key, in the dc5 the deck is bolted on the side of the deck.
you need to remove the surrounding panel and then unbolt the deck.

theres a good DIY on clubrsx, i'll try and find it for you.

heres the link to the DIY from CRSX.

couple of tips for you.
1. dont drop the bolts that you undo from underneath, cos they are a pain in the ass to find when they drop down in the shifter/centre console area!!!
2. you'll find that the deck and surround unit unclips quite easily except the corner above the hazard button, you should be able to get your hand up in that area and push it out a bit. you may be able to get your fingers in from the front at the same time to help pull it out.

hope that helps a bit

hey, just a couple of points when you do this

1.make sure you put the bolts back, saftey first
2.indicators will not work without the hazard switch connected in
