i can't recall if there is a rear strap on the OEM radios, but check
through the ashtray hole first. watch out for the sharp edges of the
hole. :(


then you'll need FOUR pieces of wire, the same size as the four little
holes in the corners of the faceplate of the radio (didn't notice those
before, eh? :)  ... 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!
