Hi,

Just taken the radio out my my a3 and may have lost the end of one of the antenna wires.. Im fairly sure i can easily replace the bit that came off, but getting the broken bit that stuck in the car may be a problem..

I have attached a picture..

Basically the blue wire is the one o broke, but for example, i pulled the purple wire out but the little metal bit stayed in..
Is there a trick to getting these out??

I know i probably shouldn't have pulled so hard but after an hour i was losing patience :mad:

A long needle nosed pliers might be able to pinch it out. Failing that maybe jab the end of a coat hanger into it, to ease the bit out.

I have tried every sort of brute force method but they just wont budge.. There was a yellow clip in the side which i thought was my issue, but even with that out, no joy..
