So helpful and easy to remove!! Just waited for the click and it basically slid the radio right out. Getting them out of the old radio was a bit of a hassle, but I don't see myself needing them again, so I'm not too stressed about it.

Brice from Monument, CO on 9/30/2022
2004 Land Rover Discovery
I have gotten these before with the kits I've purchased from Crutchfield, but this is the first time I've written a review. The Land Rover Discovery 2 I have came with the OEM Nav head unit, and I wasn't sure I'd need or use these for it (and the instructions that came with the kit were only for the standard OEM head unit). Well, these worked perfectly. It took a couple tries to determine which "head" of the tool was correct, but the OEM head unit came out easy peasy and no breakage of the really brittle Lad Rover plastic.
Pros: Worked perfect.
Cons: None

Although I don't know nor could find a valid reason, other than being a extra step yet slim extra step anti theft, why you need a special tool to remove a stereo, this one makes the removal a breeze.
Pros: A versatile tool to remove stereos.
Cons: Couldn't find any, but a graphic aid how to use them in different stereos, won't hurt anybody.

Already had a pair, but for someone who doesn't its REALLY nice that they included these. You'd be stuck if you bought a receiver from another company and didn't have your own removal tools. I like the set up on the kit where you can have 3 different options on the same tool.
Pros: Shows how much Crutchfield cares by including them for free.
Cons: None at all!

A tool you will only ever really need once, unless you have a handful of cars from the same manufacturer. Definitely works to remove the factory stereo from my Audi.

Once again Crutchfield thinks of everything you will need for a trouble free installation. Must have to get the old radio out.

Poor quality.
Rick from Clinton, MO on 2/25/2018
2004 Volkswagen Jetta
These keys were too thin and would not grab the tabs to remove the factory unit. I had to pull the face of the factory unit to get he tabs and then use pliers.
Pros: None
Cons: See my review. I paid money for items that did not work. I even called into customer support and that was no use.

It does what it's supposed to do
Pros: Worked great came free with stereo purchase
Cons: It takes a little bit of work to figure out which one of the 3 is for your head unit and which direction it goes in but it was free with stereo purchase and it did work so can't complain.

This tool was just a touch too narrow for the CDR-210 in a Boxster. Using a small nail file and the tool together released the catch on the left side. The right side released with just the tool.

Adequate
John from New Haven, CT on 6/6/2016
2004 Volkswagen GTI
My head unit was really wedged in. The thin metal pressed uncomfortably into my hand like a dull knife when I put any pulling force. These might be useful if you have multiple types of clips, but I would have rather gotten my specific clip type with plastic rings on the end. Also, check your system because you might need to release four clips and require two sets of two.
Pros: Fits multiple clip types.
Cons: Cuts into hands with any pulling pressure. Easy to bend.

Not so useful to me
Carlos from Cumming, GA on 5/2/2016
2010 Ford Transit Connect
Tried all 3 sides & the one that was supposed to work didn't. Now I'm not sure if the release pins were damaged but once the tool was inserted it didn't release the radio from the dash. Ended pulling the key out with pliers thus rendering the pins useless & then the tool couldn't do the job.
Pros: Works when things are right but not for me.
Cons: Read review comments

Metra 86-9001 Factory Radio Removal Tools Reviews
Wade M from Denver, CO on 4/6/2016
2002 Volkswagen Beetle
This is a pretty simple and effective tool that does what it's designed to do--remove the in-dash radio. It would be nice if the handles had a soft curved surface, but then we are only talking about a $6 tool! In fact, the shipping was more than the cost of the part, which seemed excessive, as it can be fit into a business size envelope...
Pros: easy to use, durable
Cons: Shipping costs

Brady from Ogden, UT on 2/29/2016

It is true i would not have been able to remove my stereo without these, but they came with a lack of clarity on how they should be used and what to expect so i ended up ripping the face off of the stock stereo trying to get it out. luckily, i had no intent on keeping it, but i wish they had clearer instructions on how to use them.
