    Removing the stock stereo

    I'm trying to get the stock out, but I can't figure out how....I found the screws on the sides behind the little flaps, but I can't figure out the size allen wrench I need, or what I need, or if I even need to remove those to get it out.

    I think you need a tiny little TORX screwdriver to get those out, I don't think they're allen screws.

      Yeah, if you look carefully the screw hole is pentagonal and not hexagonal. But people say you can find the right allen wrench and it will turn.

        BavAuto sells an antitheft radio wrench specifically for those.

        "See, we're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anyone wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired."

            I tried all our allen wrenches, and one of our smallest ones worked in it.

            Just try a bunch of little ones, one will fit eventually.
