   Not sure wether it should be here or in the ICE chat. But meh,
   
   Had a quick look at the standard citroen cd player after taking my sound system out the old bmw today but havn't a clue how to remove it? Anyone got any pointers? It stumped me to be honest.

   4 Holes in the corners, I just stuck a bit of wire coat hanger in each one of my mate's one and pulled it out

   You need a tool, like 2 pairs of prongs, put these into the 4 holes until they click, then pull them out, the radio should come out with it.
