Scosche Dt2B Radio Removal Tool (Euro Din) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let me say first that these tools are sold in pairs. This is what one would infer from the photo, but is not stated explictly.
I wanted to remove the "Symphony" model radio from my 2001 Audi A4. I ordered two sets (four removal tools), as this radio is quite tall and so has a pair of locks at both the bottom and top of the radio. The removal tools have legends stamped into them, "Top-L" and "Top-R". This is to ensure that the user has the correct side of the tool facing up, and the correct tool inserted into the left and right slots of the radio. This positions the notch near the tip towards the inside of the radio. I also referenced my Bentley's manual for the correct insertion of the tool, and the drawings there match with the legends stamped on the tools.
The two lower tools snapped into position. The two upper tools went in, but there was no snap. I tried pulling on the lower tools to remove the radio, as directed in the Bentley's manual. The radio did not budge, not even a bit. Eventually I pulled hard enough that the bottom tools popped out, which is fortunate since the (bottom) radio locks are designed to capture the removal tools until they are released manually AFTER the radio is removed. I slid out the two top removal tools, which came out as easily as they went in.
I closely inspected the tools after my abortive attempt to remove the radio. The notches in the tools were stretched out somewhat by the pulling force I had to exert. This is not because I am so strong, but because the tools are made thin and soft aluminum, rather than steel.
My recommendation: Stay away from these tools if you have an Audi radio.
