Volkswagen Touran 1.9 TDI 105hp - Money in cd player

[adriandoom]

Daughter tried to get the cd player working by loading in a few coins......

Anyone got any ideas on how to get them out or at least remove the radio and try to shake them out?
It's making noises like its trying to play something but then gives up aftera minute or 2 and the radio comes on.
Plus - After locking the car normally with the keyfob, the radio comes on itself if I haven't turned it off manually before getting out of the car.
So the car sits there locked and then the stereo starts blasting.

Kids...

Try YouTube for a demonstration of how to remove a golf radio, it involves a lot of fragile plastic being pried off before you get to any screws.

Actually if you start removing at the bottom it's quite robust.

Good luck with the coins !

Any change ?

It might be easier to just buy a second hand stereo from ebay. I can see it being quite a bit of work getting the coins out, especially if they've got wedged in there

I've tried prying off the plasic surround but it's pretty well wedged in and I don't know how far I can go before it snaps or breaks off.

I put in a cd on the off chance that it would work and it does! And plus it stops the stereo coming on itself so maybe the coin has moved into some place insiode where its out of the way. I just need to wait til I have a long trip ahead with 20 cd's,no radio coverage and the coin moves to where it does harm.

The image shows where the plastic trim is held in place around the radio, make sure you provide extra support while prying at these places with a firm and careful pull it should be out. Once the first one is out the rest are a bit easy, sometimes the yellow retaining clip is pulled out along with the trim, if this happens just put them back in the groove.

Hope this helps.
