Simple and Effective
I have a 2007 Audi A4 with a Symphony stereo set and these keys worked perfectly. For double din radio models you will need two sets of keys (4 keys total). While some people might not like the added expense it was worth it to me. No hassle and no damage to the stereo unit. I would advise buyers to be careful when pulling on the keys to remove the radio. Some of the key edges are a bit sharp and I did get a small cut. No problems other than that! The product arrived in good shape and on time.

Works great! Follow my tips :)
Keys worked great. They are not sharp as some other reviews stated. Once they are inserted you have to wiggle the top set together and then the bottom set together. Especially if the radio has not been removed in a long time. If one happens to pop out before radio removal, pop it back in and when pulling outward ever so slightly pull sideways towards the prospective door (drivers for drivers side and passengers for passenger side key). This will help the key catch the internal clip. Once the radio is out don't just yank the keys out, you will probably break the clips. There is a release button at each clip to release each key.

Exactly what I ordered
They fit my car stereo and allowed me to remove it so I could install a new one. Exactly what I needed and exactly what I got.

Cheap, stamped metal cutouts that get the job done
Very simple stamped metal cut outs the fit the exact slots for a limited number of stereos. Prefect for removing units that are not bolted into the frame. Mine was for removing the factory radio from a 2002 Mercedes.Worked like a charm. However, be careful with the sharp edges. There was no post-stamping sanding done. As with many stamped metal products like this (and you entire car under dash area), do not be afraid to keep you tetnus shots up to date. A cut from these might give you tetnus if somewhere along the way in shipping they were infected. (this is not specific to these, but to stamped metal products of all sorts)

Only two are supplied, not four as shown
2004 VW Passat. I don't know if they work because I need to order 2 sets. Only two are supplied not four as shown in the image. I may update the review after I get two more. Edit: I ordered two more and they did work. I used the end with the one notch and the curved end. I found conflicting information on which prong to use. I stand by my complaint that it should more clearly state that only two are supplied.

Worked on 2004 VW Beetle
Used this to remove the stock stereo from a 2004 VW Beetle and it worked great. Doesn't seem all that sturdy, but that may be due to it needing to be thin to fit the slots. Looked up a video online to ensure I had it pointing the correct way. The stereo pulled right out and then I was able to press the clips on the side of the stereo to release the tool.
