Standard fit Sony Stereo Removal

[Slacky 0]

Getting very poor reception on my std fit sony stereo, so i thought i would check aerial connections, but cant find how to remove it from dash. Any ideas on removal or poor reception? (97 Golf VR6)

Not sure how to remove a sony other than u need the "keys" (available from car accessory/stereo shops) that slot down each side of the head unit to release the locking pins.

I had poor reception and had to fit an inline aerial amplifier (from halfords, takes power from the stereo) to my VR.

If the aerial cable sleeving has cut anywhere you'll get poor receiption but its most likely a dodgy connection at the back of the unit or the original aerial amplifier has died (some bee-sting style aerials come with buit-in amplifiers, others don't)

Hope this helps
