Joel: <<... you stick the wires into the holes until they go past the resistance. THEN you can pull the radio out. the wires release some sort of "catch" in there, and it's a royal bitch to get the thing out any other way (i did it, but had to damn near dis-assemble my dash, glovebox, heater panel, etc) to do it. THEN i found out about the wires! >> You forgot the last step: HFWPOH...hit forehead with palm of hand. Have I ever told you how much I hate that stupid coded radio? Of course the PO had NO idea what all code had been put into it, so when it came time to put in a new battery I also ended up swapping mine for a reman at the dealers. Of course, it wasn't an even swap, there was also some money exchanged. <G> George '89 Westy, "Wernher" 104K miles & counting 3 days & a wake-up...then Colorado bound
