Radio removal, I need help!!
 
1 Attachment(s)
I bought xcarlink because my 8 has a FANTASTIC stock radio that doesn't read MP3 files even though it is 2007 year!

I pulled out the radio after I removed 10mm bolt under steering wheel. I thought I made it. But the difficuleeeesssstttttttt one was left. Climate control plugs need to be removed to pull out the radio completely. There are 2 plugs back of climate control; one is on the left side, the other one is on the middle. I spent a hour to remove the left one, but the middle one never comes out. And it is almost 12AM. It is driving me crazy!!

Anyone have done this? Any tips?

I have an 07 also, and have removed my radio countless times.....

All I can say is keep trying.... its a pain in the ass!!!!! The release tab is on the bottom, you have push on the tab to get it loose.

Remember getting it out putting in my factory Sirius. It's a tough bastard, in there really snug, but keep trying it will eventually move. Search my factory Sirius install thread. It will show you how to get it out

Oh fawk, that shit does suck major donkey balls. Get a mirror so you can see the release tab.

ok for that one [i have removed my stock radio countless times, dont ask why] there is a small tab that you have to push in and pull out simultaneously.
