Removing Blaupunkt Stereo

[burnsburnsburns]

Morning,

My new iPod is due to arrive today or tomorrow, and I've found a place locally that sells the leads to plug my iPod into a Blaupunkt stereo, but I have no idea how to pull the stereo out in order to plug the lead into the back of it. Any ideas?

You should have to "V" shaped prongs that go into 2 holes each side of the unit, you use those to release the catches and then slide it out.
If you dont have the prongy thingys(Technical term) then you can buy them from Halfords for about £3.

Where did you manage to get an iPod connector for the Blaupunkt (Woodstock model) stereo?

Thanks in advance

I got mine from

Notice there are 2 different adaptors depending on head unit

And I'm getting mine from here:

Although my new iPod Touch has arrived, so I'm going to order the basix AUX model for £13.99, what's the point in buying a new iPod with fancy new controls just to use the head unit to control it!

You'll see me wrapped around a tree with an iPod Touch embedded in my head any day soon!

Cut up a wire coat hanger and save yourself £3

Now someone tells me

bit of a thread hijack but does anyone know where I can get a blanking plate for the dash, my stereo is coming out for good!

Right, so I bought the iPod connector, this one here:

And I bought the removal tool from Halfords (tried the coat hanger thing, but it didn't work).

I got the stereo out, plugged the aux lead into the slot, made sure it was firmly in, turned the unit on, pressed the SRC button, the display came up AUX, plugged the iPod in a set it away playing:

Nothing.

Tried removing the lead, fitting it again, but still nothing.

I'm planning on taking the lead back on Saturday to see if it's faulty, but I thought I'd post on here to see if I've missed anything, or if anyone has any ideas.

Help?

Cancel that, I just found out that I've bought the AUX1 connector and I need the AUX2 connector for the Woodstock unit. Aaaarrrrggghhh!
