Silver Member Username: AstrosafariDelhi, Ontario Canada Post Number: 401 Registered: Aug-05 | no, it works with the aftermarket cd players, the keys are long thin peices of metal, when u slide it in between the metal and HU, it pulls the clips away from the HU so it will slide out... |

If they are anything like us they probably have about 100 pair of em. We dont give them to alot of people because they for one wont know what to do with it, or we dont want them taking the radio out and screwing with it. chances are some of your buddies have em if they are into car audio. I know i have atleast 7 sets in my car, and another 1000 in my toolbox at work...I am also an installer so that could be the reason for that. |
