get an old credit/debit card and cut to long strips about 7mm long, youll see two slots in the gamma head unit, slide em down there and she'll come out mate.... or pay £3 for some metal strips from chavfords that do the same thing!!

Gaz :cool:

He's right, Kenwood removal keys also work.

Although not all of us at Halfords are chav's   :embarassed:
