I bought a CD receiver for my car about four months ago. I've been
recently having some right-side speaker sound cutout and have come to
the logical solution that there must be a loose wire (what else would
it be?). This is not the original CD receiver for my car. Problem is
that I have lost the extraction keys. Its a Pioneer DEH-P4500MP so it
does not use the typical U-shaped keys. Does anyone have any ideas on
where to find a replacement pair or what would be an OK homemade
replacement? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've come to
hate missing half of the track of the song.
Thanks,
Soma

the "extraction keys" for a ford, if that's what you're asking about, can be
duplicated by cutting a coat hanger with tin snips and bending the pieces
into that U shape.

you would wish you had the REAL KEYS!! ;-)

No, I have a Pioneer DEH-P4500MP that I'm trying to get out of my car.
It does NOT use the U-shaped keys like I already said.

Two butterknives, and some spare time. What's the problem?

Any car audio shop that sells pioneer likely has a few keys laying
around. I used to make them into shivs when I got bored.

The problem is right side speaker sound cutout. It started about a
month and a half ago. I'm guessing that it's just a loose wire
(crossing fingers). Other than that, I have no clue. Any ideas?

Probably either that or the speaker is blown or wire loose on the speaker
end. Go to a dealer that sells Pioneer and ask to borrow some Pioneer
extraction keys and go from there.

So you like Kraft or Hellmans?
