How to Remove Kenwood HU???

[ChrisCan 10+ year member]

Hello,

I have an older Kenwood Excelon head (maybe it is from like 1995) unit that I really love and want to keep. I will probably get rid of the car it is in, so I am wondering if there is a way to remove it without the "extractor keys" (think metal things that you use to get the unit out") that came with the unit?

They just close a Kenwood outlet store here in the Dallas area where I leave a couple of years ago, else I probably could have gone there.

I asked a local audio installer if they had the extractor keys and they refused to give them to me, I think there is policy against it (related to theft I guess).

Please help! Or am I SOL...

Chris

the key you require are not kenwood specific look around at audio shops, walmart stuff like that and you should be able to find them with ease

you can use a flat piece of metal. If it slides inbetween the deck and the chassis it'll work.
