Bought my 996 almost 4 months ago and finally getting round to installing some decent sounds. However I dont know if I should give it to a shop to install or do it myself. I have done my old Corrado and Audi TT with no problems. First thing I tried was removing the Becker head unit. It doesnt want to leave the Porsche. I insert 2 small pieces of metal that slotted into the the facia for removal and nothing. No movement. It makes me think that: a: Its bolted in from the back b: The Becker key is some funny design - not just a straight piece of thin metal. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.... thanks

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

What radio do you have in your car? I have a CDR-23, the keys slide in the face, and they you just pull...its a bit difficult, but it comes right out...
PULL.
Yes I have tried sticking in pieces of metal in and sliding it out but maybe I need to get the Becker keys as the pic so nicely demonstrates, thanks...
Looking at the keys on ebay I have noticed that the strips are longer then what I inserted which explains everything, including my blushing face!
