Removing Quadlock Connectors

Nel2014 · 12-02-2017, 08:14 AM

I am trying to remove the Aux connection from the Quadlock connecting to the back of my pro head-unit.
The reason I am trying to do this is my aux cable is faulty.
I can see there is a blue tab going into each block, I have removed this but still nothing seems to budge or can be disconnected.

The photo below shows the Quadlock connections in more detail,
It is 12 pin connectors at the bottom I'm trying to remove;

I can see it so I'm guessing most people can, it's strange that you can't?

I do those very often, is very tricky to remove mqs pins. Use tiny flat screewdriver from outside edge and press in about 5-7mm from start.

Is there anyway to remove the block of pins between 17-25 in one go as it is this is what i want to replace.

There are 2 tabs either side of each block, but I cannot seem to find a way to remove them. I have highlighted them in the photo below;

Yep, want to try and replace the entire 12 pin block of connectors on the right hand side (in the last photo). Have new connector block and loom i want to install.

Neil, I'm taking my radio out this weekend, and I know I've done the removal of the block before when I fitted my Parrot; I'll see what I can photograph & send through.

Any luck removing?

I had my radio out, but the connector is very well hidden now (it's the parrot loom that's plugged into the radio). Sorry Neil.
