Default The tabs on my Concert radio seem to be broken - any way to get it out without using tools?

I have been trying for months to figure out how to get it out, since I can't use the tools. Has anyone ever managed to get it out by taking apart the console from the e-brake forward?

cheers

Default yup there is a way... take the platic thing that goes around the radio

and climate control off, and then get a screw driver and pry out the tabs that the tools unhook which secure the radio... you might have to break somthing

Default doesnt hurt to try...

since the tabs are bent twoards the wrong way, which prevents the tools to work, If you wanted to, stick the keys back in the slot backwards, this will bend the tab even farther back, so they dont push against the front holding it in. Then pull where the cassette is so it forces teh deck out forward. Never tried it, but if i wanted a stuck deck out i would try it.
