Does anyone in the Edinburgh crowd have a set of Vauxhall stereo release keys I would be able to borrow for a week or so.

Thanks in advance.

Do you know what style these are?

I have a few different sets in the garage, but I'm not sure if they'll fit your needs. I'll have a look later on and let you know whats there.

I've had a quick look in the lockup, and this is what I have:

ISO keys like these: http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_...

Merc keys like these: http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_...

Sony keys like these: http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_...

If you reckon these are any good to you then you're welcome to take them away and try them out.

Just had a quick google, and it might be that you need ISO keys for a double DIN unit (mine are single DIN).

Like this maybe: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/celsus-vauxhall-ra...

If you have access to heavy gauge wire you may well be able to fabricate a set, did this years ago myself using welding wire.

Could you not just use an old wire coat hanger and bend that to shape?

This one looks about right, only a single DIN

Thats the other option, has worked before (but I forgot I had done it)

If the DIY option doesn't work, let me know. You're welcome to take mine and give them a go.
