    Thank you, thank you, thank you! Over 2 hours I am trying to pull it out with no result. After I found your video I am able to pull it out in few seconds, no wiggling needed. A8 D4 MMI 3G+ unit

    Video worked like a charm. Avoided having to take apart the radio to remove keys.

    Okay so there is a much easier and simpler way that is way more effective than this suggestion and very easy, causes no damage and much less frustration. After studying the mechanism this is my suggestion and it works 100%
    Use the same key and gently slide it in above the key that is stuck - NOT ALL THE WAY IN THOUGH. The additional key that you slot in will cause the clip to free the previous key.

      Another approach that worked elegantly for me is this: Take another key and slide it in from the side (so at 90 degrees to the stuck key) underneath the tab you press in. Keep the straight edge facing towards the front of the unit, so the curved edge gently disengages the pin that is locked into the slot in the stuck key. Remove the stuck key. Only gentle pressure needed.

    Same tool and same problem. Stuck for about 30 min and this didn’t really work for me. I’ve just used the screwdriver messing around with the metal part on the side of the unit and at the same time wiggling and pulling the stuck tool and at kept trying different angles. All of a sudden it worked but I have no idea how..
    Will not use these tools any more.

      @@UltimateDIY ​ @Ultimate DIY So this latch mechjanism or what it is is a slight bit different inside I think. As you shown the stopping mechanism on the left (the metal that doesn't allow this piece of clip to move in more) is why it can't really be pressed more inwards which would help unlock I think. I used a small screwdriver I pushed through the crack and pushed on the inside part of that latch and somehow I managed to remove both keys (maybe I deformed it inslide a little bit), after about an hour, but I am not confident I could do that again. I may try to get a different set of keys or file this one down (in which case I don't know if it will work anymore). The keys have similar rough marks as youtrs' probably from all the removal attempts.
      All in all I read articles and watched videos and while it didn't exactly work yours was the closest and helped most to understand how the mechanism works which in turn helped with the removal as I just kind of insisted with something that didn't seem to work but then it did.
      On second watch you sound romanian... 3:55 'adi.. i mean...' :)

      The funny point is, previously I cut this tool out of a plastic card and had never a problem with them. But then, I thought I should buy a "stable" tool 😅
      Well, now both of them are really stable sticking in the MMI unit 🤣
