you need to get some release key's for the Beta ,then it's just a case of inserting the key's and removeing the unit.

if its the same as the 9n, take the cubby box out, comes out with a bit of force then once thats out, u can see that the beta unit can be moved up and down, if u look under the unit, it will have 2 clips that are on each side, the release keys will push them in so u can get the unit out, but instead, use your fingers and wrap round the 2 clips and push into them, and pull the unit out while ur doing that.

hope this helps

(its free :D )

rite got the beta out the guy in the vw place gave me a set of keys 4 her

but the next problem is
my new head unit (pioneer 3500)goes in well and fits great, but for some reson it doesnt have the full time power goin to it
so when you swicth the car of and take the front of, it loses all the stations and cd place
