As said you need two removal keys.

Can be  purchase from halfords for £3.99 you need the Euro ones marked VW.

Put the keys into the 2 slots with the hooks facing outwards and pull out.

Or if you've got a broken hacksaw blade, use the 2 halves of those.  ;)

Just go into Halfords and say you need the key to remove the radio from a MK4 Golf. They will tell you what ones you need (thats what I did).

Eh?

The reason i am asking is because i need to remove it to fit an Ipod adaptor, and i would like to be careful when removing the stereo as its going back in...
