Default Easy when using the factory removal tools

Put two in on one side, pull out slowly (had to apply pressure on the keys sideways - can't remember if it was outward or inward to prevent the keys from popping out) and once it gives a bit, do the same on the other side. It should then slide out easily.

An even easier way to remove the radio is to buy 2 sets of keys. They're only $6 on eBay. Then all you have to do is insert all 4 keys and the radio slides out.

Are the keys the same as in previous models?
