Hi does anybody have a link to the correct stereo removal keys for Symphony head unit? I bought the generic ones on eabay but they dont work and nearly shred your finger trying. thanks in advance

Crewe Audi posted the correct ones out to me and they appear a little sturdier than the ones on ebay.

Thanks Dave, will contact them to see if they still have some

I bought these on Amazon 2 years ago and they work. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B018GKO6OQ I paid £6 but now they are £18!

Cheers Alan and Dave , Ive just ordered a set of 4 from Audi, £10 plus vat for the set of 4 so not bad

Evening Alan,

Ive used aftermarket stereo removal keys in the past and they can fail after a few times. You only know they've failed (worn down) when you need them most which is frustrating. A set of 4 factory keys direct from Audi is £12.

Get in touch with Tom @CreweAudi.

Edit: Just noticed you've already followed Dave's @Dave M advice. Nice work.

Kind regards,

Tom

I was going to buy some of the release keys ... until I realised a jubilee clip of the appropriate width for the slot works surprisingly well to remove my Concert 2

The genuine keys ( and some aftermarket ones ) not only release the lock but are then themselves locked into the stereo to make the removal easy. Keys are then released before the stereo is refitted / replaced.

I have seen it done with shim steel and even feeler gauges in the past..
