The Audi A3 8p radio is fairly outdated now as there are many modern units
that are available to purchase that not only look better, but also have better
features. You will need to purchase the correct audi radio removal tools. For
the 8p model, they come four keys that are pointed. Once the keys are applied
into the release slots, it will push back the locking spring that holds the
radio in place. You have to make sure you get it right the first time and
remember to hear the click when pushed in. If you place the keys incorrect in,
you may risk damaging the mechanism inside. Once this has been done, which I
have done myself you literally have to force the radio out of the slot. This
can sometimes involve scratching or damaging the radio. This guide is for
removing the common audi a3 8p chorus radio. If your car has the one with the media screen, the process is the same, you just need to fold the screen down and expose the fourth realse clip on the left hand side. Do you have an old van? Sell your van today at my favourite used cars website.
Obtain your radio removal keys. You will see on the front of the audi a3 8p chorus radio there will be two slots placed at the top and two at the bottom. Look at your radio removal keys, you will see that pointed part and the curved part. For the left side, the pointed part needs to be facing the left direction. For the right part, the pointed part needs to be facing the right direction. Insert all four radio removal keys following the correct radio removal instructions. Upon inserting each key, you will notice and click sound, which shows the radio removal tools are functioning correctly.
In most cases if you hold all four radio removal keys the radio should pull out. However, if not its most likely the key you are using are not a good cut out or the radio has been tampered with before. If this is the case keep wiggling the radio keys in and also use a flat head screwdriver to pry it out. Eventually, after a few attempts the radio will force its way out.
