MY 2013 stereo removal
Help !

Spent a fun hour this afternoon trying to remove the Alpine CDE130 from the dash of the 90.

I have not been able to find any Alpine removal keys apart from in the US.

I was reliably (?) told by Halfords that Sony keys are the ones - wrong !!

Anybody know what removal keys will work, they are flat plate type keys that slide into the side of the unit ?

Bob,

I had a similar problem last week when I tried to remove my old Kenwood from my 110 - in the end I just removed the whole front facia (carefully) and popped it out that way from the side access doing this gives you. Thumbs Up Cheers,

Not cheap but apparently for Alpine amongst others. Not cheap though, Whistle

Bob- i removed one from a 13 plate last week, there is two locating pins which have springs and just need pushing up, easiest and most quickest option is to pop the dash center out mate Thumbs Up CSK Automotive

Thanks all Thumbs Up

Centre dash is coming out so that may be the only way to do it.

Saw the full kits on Amazon etc, probably be the best bet. Had a good look round and JVC may be the same ?

I would have thought they should be with the vehicle. I asked the dealer but apparently that is not the case.

I suppose I could contact LR directly as they must have a few lying around that have not been supplied with the vehicles Laughing

I need the centre dash out to fit a check temp and another little box of tricks so 'I know where it is' Whistle
The box of tricks will only take 10 minutes to fit as I have all the harnesses made up now.

I also need to sort the radio/aerial out, it keeps losing reception. I am going to fit an Entreq Flexi aerial on both the 90's when Brendan has them back in stock as I am fed up with bending the antique LR ones Laughing

I think the radio problem is due to the aerial not being correctly earthed but want to make sure it is actually plugged into the radio first.

Thanks for the offer Stu Thumbs Up

Just been speaking to Alpine UK and they inform me that the keys are not needed despite it stating they are in the manual.

I will post back how I get on with their workaround.
