If you have the double din radio...you need four keys to remove the stereo and once they are in they don't come out until you have removed the head unit

Aslong as your putting the keys in the correct way the radio slid out effortlessly when i did my mates
I think the connector is correct, looks right but I can't remember what mine exactly looked like
And the facia I can't tell you as we replaced with another double din stereo

Which stereo have you got.

3 seperate section. Pre facelift car

Or a single double din in a facelift?

Different ways to get each of them out.

From memory the point has to go towards the centre of the stereo although this may be wrong as it was a while ago now

From memory / a conversation with a mate you don't even need the keys. You can use a really small flat tip electrical screwdriver - slide this in and then you should feel it 'catch' - carefully pull back and the retaining pin should be released......

Repeat x 4 then carefully pull the stereo out - if the stereo goes back in accidentally at this time you might need to spring the 'catches' again

no dont do that!
I work at halfords and own an st myself.
You do need the keys as from past experience the radio will break slightly if the correct keys are not used.
