Volkswagen Jetta | 1999-2000 Car Radio Removal
Step 1:
The vw radio is snapped into the vehicles dash. These snaps are attached to each side of the radio and need to be pushed inward toward the radio to allow the radio to slide forward out of the dash. You will have to insert a very thin, yet strong piece of metal into the vertical rectangular holes on each side of the radio. Slide the metal keys into the holes then pull the radio forward out of the dash. You can call a local vw dealer and ask for these radio removal tools or keys.

Removing vw radios using “U” shaped removal keys
Insert the “U” shaped keys into the holes as shown in the diagram. Coat hangers can be cut and bent into shape for a quick, cheap replacement or alternative when vw keys are not available.
In order for the radio to be removed, clips attached to the side of the radio must be moved inward so the radio can slide out of the dash. Insert the keys and push each key out, away from the radio. The ends of the keys will press into the clips. While pushing the keys outward, pull and the radio should slide forward out of the dash.
