The proper tool is a U-shaped 2 prong device which slides into each hole releasing the retainer tabs. It also hooks in at the back and allows you to pull the unit out of the dash.

I ended up using a length of whip aerial which I had chopped off my VHF aerial when tuning it. Something about 1mm to 1.5mm dia. should fit, a coat hanger may be a little large. You'll need 4 lengths at a min of approx. 100mm. This will release the retaining tabs but you'll still need to gently prise from the dash - easy.

If all to hard, pop into a LR Dealer and ask them to pop it for you.

I installed it today and its all working, so thanks to all for the help!

I tried to get the unit out with some bits of coat hanger wire, and while it engaged the clips, I couldnt pull the unit out... I went over to Autobarn and they pulled it out for me with proper DIN tools, took 5 secs.

I had to buy a euro antenna adaptor for $5 to fit the JVC motorola plug.

I pulled out the existing metal sleave and installed the supplied JVC one, slid the unit in and clipped in place, too easy.

The JVC to DIN wiring harness made installation a sinch, no soldering, no wires, just plug and play.

Its a bluetooth model, the KD-BT1, and the mic cord was easy to put up the A pillar and not too hard to get the cable back to the head unit.

The steering wheel control of course dont work, but the JVC remote works pretty much the same.

BTW, Supercheap Auto have these JVC units on sale, $280 off the retail, for $199... bargain.

Thanks again.

Good to hear it worked out well and we were able to help. The unit looks really cool too! :cool:
