Thanks Andy.

The way to stop this should you decide - is to saw the button tops off - push them down then saw them flush wi the surface.

Thats how fordie owners got around it. Cant pull em if the arent sticking up lol

The aforementioned "opening a golf wi no keys and not breaking anything" technique is priveledged information and will from now on be only shared wi members wi at least 100 posts as they have been around here for a while and are not so likely to steal yer stereo lol

After all - it works wi a lot of different cars and shouldnt really be passed around.

Just a thought.
With a high number of car jacking these days, and you lock the doors whilst driving, if you chopped off the button flush with the surface when its down, how do you get them back up to let yourself out?

Opening sawn down buttons :

The buttons should pop up if you pull the door catch from the inside - have to try that tomorrow. It does on other cars so you can't lock yourself in.

Ok fit smooth buttons you can still pull with your fingers...then you dont need to cut them down.
