The Celsus Stereo Release Key (RK5013) is designed for car audio installers and DIY enthusiasts who need to safely remove VAG (Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Seat) factory-fitted head units. These tools provide a reliable way to disengage the internal locking mechanisms within vertical slot fittings, ensuring the stereo can be removed without causing damage to the dashboard or the unit itself. While these tools are robust and essential for VAG vehicles, they are specific to vertical slot designs and will not work on stereos requiring U-shaped or round-hole removal tools.

These are only compatible with VAG models that feature vertical release slots on the face of the head unit. They will not work for units requiring U-shaped keys.
Generally, no. These keys are designed to fit directly into the slots on the stereo faceplate.
Gently wiggle the key while pulling outward. Never use excessive force, as this may damage the internal locking spring.
The pack includes two keys. It is recommended to watch a vehicle-specific removal video for your exact model year.
These are specifically designed for VAG-group vertical-slot fittings and are not recommended for other manufacturers.
Ensure both keys are fully inserted to the same depth until they click. If the unit is still stuck, check for any secondary mounting screws that may be hidden behind plastic trim.
Check the slot for dirt or adhesive residue. Ensure you are using the correct orientation for the key blade.
Do not force the key. Stop immediately, re-insert or wiggle slightly to release the internal pressure, and ensure the stereo isn't being held by external mounting points.
This tool is designed specifically for VAG-group vehicles featuring vertical release slots on the front of the head unit. Before use, ensure the vehicle's ignition is off to prevent any electrical shorts while handling the stereo cables.
