you have an old plastic card? like a credit card?

slide something like that in between the plastic shroud around the radio and the dash, and just pry it up, be easy on it, should snap out.

or close your eyes and concentrate real hard and it will just fall out

or roundhouse kick it, like chuck norris.

pee on it to lubricate the clips

rub one out on the clips if they break, good glue.

all good suggestions, except for the one by mike to "round house kick like chuck norris"

mike, if you honestly thing that anyone can kick like chuck norris, you are sorely mistaken. thats how i wound up in the hospital last time.

however, rubbing one out, great idea //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

hey dre, you said you were able to look up the info, perhaps you can clarify something for me. Crutchfield says that the radio is a "E" which they describe as:

""Euro-DIN" stereos attach from the front through the 2" tall rectangular hole in the dash, sliding into a metal sleeve that attaches to the front of the dash. "

now I just went out and measured to make sure, my stock radio is 4" tall and 8" wide.

Crutchfield wrong or something I need to know about mounting the new radio?
