If I remember correctly. The radio should have two holes on the face on each side of the unit. You have to get a wire coat hanger (easiest!) and form it into a "U" shape. You will need two. Form it to fit into the holes in each side. Push them in and it should release the clips on the inside and the unit should slide right out.

They sell the little tools for removing the radio at your local auto parts store-they're cheap too. The coat hanger trick will only work if it is the right size metal wire to go into the 4 holes, if you don't insert them too far, and if you push on the radio from the back to pop it out of the dash. Mine was in there very tight so it took some work with the u-hook tools I have.

There you go! Why spend money when you don't have to even if it is an inexpensive tool.
