try with ford keys for 1996 i think iwqas teh rds 5000 or 6000 Image, or sony keys Image or kenwood Image or jvc/panasonic/pioneer Image


if they all fail , just get a 2x long(6inch) thin flat screw driver and push it in to the hole slowly you sholud feel it get stiff (you found the lock) push a bit more and leave it , get the other driver and do the same with the other hole on the same side and now put your fingers in the tape slot and pull one side sholud be free now pull out the drivers and do the other side , pull out system , fit wiring loom adaptor if not ISO conntions. and fit aerial adaptor (din to iso) if needed also

They are the ones you want but you will need four. The original pioneer ones were a set of two 2 pronged tools with ends like above. And you will f*ck about for ages without them. I used to have pioneers all the time back in the day.

Very easy to make though if you have some sheet aluminium or steel.

You can use two(as they always come in 2's) in the drivers side one.

Remove the analogue clock which takes 2 seconds and manually release the passenger side clips with a screwdriver.

you might be lucky it may just pop out with a bit of help with a screwdriver,

or get the removal tool as mentioned above, although i wouldnt get them, a small selection of screwdrivers allways do the trick for me winkeye
