Hi folks.
Is there a special knack for removing the Citroen cassette radio from it's housing in the cubby hole? Clarion keys? 1998 stock issue radio exposed and sitting just above ashtray.
Or can I just use two butter knives like I did for my Volvo?
My car is in lockup and want to see do I need special tools before I travel there.
Thanks in advance.

You need a pair of these: https://caraerialshop.co.uk/product/cit ... ools-keys/ I have done it by poking screwdrivers into the holes, bu it is easy to damage the clips.

The outer plastic trim on the radio panel pulls off to reveal the release holes.

Thanks for that! Ordered.
Am going to send it off to Lithuania (!) to have bluetooth fitted on it.
Strange it has to go that far, but such is life.
Thanks again.

If it's Lithuania, then it's Baltic Retrofit :D What do they charge for such work there?
