Default Radio Refit

Could someone give me a low down on replacing a Standard Radio on a falcon?
It has those 2 holes on either side of the Radio!
Cheers,
Nathan

do you want to replace your old radio to a new one? mate i would just go and buy a new mp3 player and you can use that extra space left for storage

Go to a car audio place and pay them $10-20 to pull it out for you it is much better than potentially breaking the clips.

To do it properly you need a special tool

you can get the tools, or instead get 4 peices of wire; about 20cm long to be sure, then put one in each holw as far as it will go, then stick your fingers inside the tape slot (if it has one) then just pull and it should come straight out...thats what i did...if it won't move try pushing the wire in a bit further...it you can't get normal wire, a coat hanger will do, a wire one of course
