You have to buy some sort of hook tool, i dont remember what it is. and unless your getting a double din sterero, you need a cubby thing to fill the gap. sorry im not very much help.

 

You need to get a stereo key removal. it ill cost around 7 to 10 bucks.
that's the only way to get it out without breaking anything.

BTW..the key must be for you model or year.

 

I seen the removal tools on ebay last night for about $4 or $5 plus shipping. I used a couple of paper clips (small ones) to take mine out, be careful not to scratch it up if you go this route.

 

if you are careful, you can use screw drivers lol
youtube "vw radio removal" or something like that and you'll see what im talking about.

But as cory said, you still need the wrap around thingy. Check out crutchfield.com and see if your new head unit is compatible with your jetta. If not, they will show you what to get.

 

where is a good place to get the keys other than ebay?

 

u can get them at the dealer, for $15 i think.

Theres nothing to it, just a very thin piece of metal with a hook at the end... Doesnt have to be the best.

 

you can get the radio removal tools from walmart for just a few bucks in their automotive electronics section.

 

use 2 nail files that your grandmother bought for u at christmas in those little grooming kits.lol

 

A vehicle specific "mastersheet" from Crutchfield is supplied free with any receiver purchase. Also a wiring harness and dash kit if needed. Car audio orders $129 and up ship free. Published prices may show up higher, but customer service, installation assistance, and technical support is absolutely the best.

And if you are a first-time Crutchfield purchaser, you'll get an additional $20 discount if you use a "friend referral code, such as mine, which is: p7sdj-hrx8q-9800g
