yup, you need the two L shaped 'keys' that Pioneer makes to get that out. Any shop that carries Pioneer equipment will have probably 10 sets... should do the trick.

O ok thanks that was easy... How exactly do those work? Its not the grips that i was saying right?

What does the L shaped key do?

I assume so, anyone who has ever purchased a Pioneer deck and has the box has a set of them...

O well i bought my car used so it didnt come with a box for it or anything...

someone told me i should be able to stick any thin piece of metal in the side of my radio and that should work. But i couldnt seem to do that

They have to be long enough to get the thing to release

yeh i have to really long pieces of metal but i dont know where the things that have to release are... I am not able to stick anything in the middle there are like 2 metal plates blocking the middle and then the top and bottom corners wen i put it in there it dont work

Hey i got it out. The problem was that the pins that release wen u put the flat piece of metal in were screwed down... Whoever installed it didnt want it to be easy totake out so i had to unscrew that wen i took the whole dash apart...
