Oh, I FINALLY see what the source of your confusion is. YES, your HU is
held by a sleeve, but LISTEN TO ME VERY, VERY CAREFULLY. The screws that
hold the HU to the sleeve go RIGHT INTO THE HU AS WELL.
There is a DAMN good reason for this. If it was only the sleeve that was
holding the HU in (and two clips like you think), HU's would be getting
stolen right and left. LISTEN, THERE ARE SCREWS THAT ARE HOLDING THE HU TO
THE DASH YOU WILL NEVER GET TO WITH OUT TAKING THE DASH APART!!!!!

Actually, I haven't removed any part of the car dash, but i do remove
the HU trim piece, that is the plastic frame of the cd player around
the faceplate (although I am not too sure what you mean about HU trim
piece, but i guess its the frame of the headunit).
I know the CD player is sitting inside a metal case like thing, and
this metal case is fixed in the fashboard. The player is fixed by 2
clips at 2 sides of the player, What I want to do is just take the CD
player out from the metal case and keep the metal case there.
I used to have another cheap cd player, with no "SECURITY" word printed
on it, in my preious car. I just need to remove the plastic cd player
frame and then slide 2 flat metal keys in 2 sides of the CD player to
open the clips, then I can pull the player out. This panasonic player
is a bit different from last one. I can't even find where those clips
are... so no matter how I slide the key in it, it is still locked
there... I am thinking is the mechanism of these player which labelled
as SECURITY has another way other then just slide to keys in the gap.
I hope I can clearly explain the situation to you.

When you say none of the plastic dash parts are covering the HU, is that
because you have removed the dash parts? Of course the dash does not
cover
the HU (otherwise you would not be able to operate it, or put CD's in,
etc.), but YOU DO have to remove the dash trim pieces around the HU to
take
it out. It it located (most likely) in a metal flange that is screwed to
the dash. You CANNOT get to this flange WITHOUT removing the dash trim
pieces. It WILL NOT just slide out. If I am misunderstanding your
problem,
I'm sorry, but CD players just don't "slide-out" of dashes really, they
come out as part of larger assemblies. This makes me think you are not
doing the critical step of removing the dash pieces.

Hi,
My car is a sedan Mazda 626. The player was installed properly, none of
the plastic dashboard part is covering the player. I just can't pull
the player body out of the slot. I thought there are some locks or
hooks or anything else stopping from pulling out.
There are some photos he

Two things, first what kind of car do you have. Second, please be a
little
more specific about EXACTLY what has you stuck. Have you removed the
dashboard trim pieces around the HU? With most cars, you sort of have
to
take the dash apart to get at the HU.

Hi,
I've got a Panasonic DP-33 CD player installed in my car, I would
like
to take the head unit our from the dashboard for connecting another
speakers. I've got a problem on removing the headunit from the
dashboard. I first remove the faceplate, then all the screws that i
can
see.
I've got 2 flat metal thing plugged at 2 sides of the unit. But I
can't
even move the unit a bit. There is a word "SECURITY" printed on the
unit behind the faceplate. I have no idea on removing the thing out.
There is no article or document about this player. I reckon some
people
has got the similar product and have experience on removing the
thing.
Thanks so much!
Eugene.
