Hey Matt,

     As I recall, there are two small slots in the middle of each side of your
radio faceplate. Take something long and narrow and push it down this slot until
you feel resistance --- another push at this point should release the little
catch on that side. Do the same on the other side and your radio should slide
out. Pulling out your ashtray gives you a partial view of what's going on.
