3D Printed Car Radio Head Unit Removal Tool

This 3D-printed tool is designed for efficiently removing the radio head unit from various car models, particularly those from the Volkswagen group, including Audi, Seat, Porsche, and Skoda, as well as other brands like Mercedes. The tool serves as a cost-effective alternative to the original tools that are often included in tool packs priced at $20 or more.

Key Features:

  • Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of cars, especially those from the Volkswagen group and other brands like Mercedes.
  • Durable Design: The tool is engineered with durability in mind. The pulling piece has been reinforced to prevent breakage, addressing a common issue with the original tool design, where a plastic hole is susceptible to breaking easily.

Purpose:

The primary purpose of this 3D-printed tool is to provide a reliable and cost-efficient solution for extracting the radio head unit, particularly in situations where the original tool may not be readily available or is considered expensive.

Design Considerations:

The reinforcement of the pulling piece enhances the tool's longevity, making it a sturdy and reliable option for multiple uses.

Application:

Originally designed for extracting the radio from a VW Polo, this tool can be utilized across various car models, making it a versatile and valuable addition to any automotive toolkit.

Important: Print two of these tools to ensure you can remove the radio correctly since there are two latches. Set the filling to 100% to ensure strength!!!

Note: Always exercise caution and refer to your vehicle's manual when working with car audio systems.
