    You need to remove radio from dashboard

    You can buy extraction tools ( try ebay)

    OR

    First thing to try , find a wire coat hanger.
    Cut off the two corners, allowing at least 6 inches on each arm.
    Bend wire until you can insert both ends into the ( same side) holes
    Same with other piece of wire.

    Push into holes firmly ( they should go in number of inches.)

    You now have a radio with a couple of loops sticking out.
    Push loops outwards and wriggle.
    Radio not you , gentle pull.

    Not as difficult as it might seem

    then on the radio will :j be a yellow sticker with hopefully

    a M followed by a six digit number, post here

    We will try to give you a four digit number in return
    Hundreds have done just that!
