no, it's like a 3 sided version of and external torque but rouned sids so you cant grab it with a vise-grip. I don't have the time to order a tool, I'll probably just cut a slot in the head and use a flat blade. darnedest shaped bolt head I've ever seen

Check eBay for security bit sets. They have 100 piece sets that contain almost every type bit you will ever need for $20.00 with shipping.
I have 2 sets, 1 at home and 1 at work and bought 1 for my son. a must for every tool box.

Those bolts are annoying. I've seen a couple security bit sets come with the right one, but more often than not these sets don't have the right bit. My usual plan of attack is to use a small punch and a hammer to tap them loose and then long nose pliers to get them out, or Dremel a slot in the heads and get them out that way.

Here's one of the few sets I can find with the proper bit: NEW 11 PC ANTENNA WRENCH AND RADIO TOOL SET - (eBay.ca item 330214181225 end time 23-Mar-08 11:32:41 EDT)

I should get one of those - I often go after Chrysler head units at the yards, and there have been a few with those stupid bolts holding them in I'd have liked to get if I had the time to use the punch and hammer method (can't bring a Dremel to the yards I visit).

Can't fit a dremel in your pocket? heehee

I know of these screws--a major PITA. I remember that I drilled the heads off a couple to get a slave CD out of a '91 Lebaron. Wasn't too hard, but because of space restraints, I could not get the rest of the screw out. Though it should have turned easily with the head and cd player gone, it didn't move at all with a needle nose pliars. But I didn't care. I shoved a dummy plug in place of it and let it head out to the wholesale lot.

Then, I went after a head unit in a '95 Concorde, and it had them as well. I wish I remember how in the world I got them out with a basic tool set (maybe it was just a pair of vice grips?) but if the head is round and tapered, that couldn't have been what I used. I am also interested in getting this tool.

I have one of those sockets in my toolbox & I use it all the time when I find factory head units at the yards too. :D I've had that socket for like 12 years!:p Mike, you're better off useing the dremmel & making a cut in it & removing it with a flat screwdriver. Otherwise finding that socket today is a pain & just save yourself the $25. There was one on eBay resently, but I passed it up. Now I just have a handful of those 10mm screws for radios now.

The license plate on my Turbo van has 4 of those screws holding the plate on! I once had one of my plates stolen years ago on another car once, so lets see them remove the plate now. :brows:

Miller Tool C-4537 radio nut socket. Cost 29.00 plus shipping. 800-801-5420 Phone. This is the original supplier of all of the special Mopar tools. Maybe there is another supplier that has them cheaper. 1/4 inch drive for the 3 slotted tapered head style anti-theft or tamper proof type nut. I've got one and it makes being in the wrecking yard easy when you find a radio with these screws in them.
