    Need help removing 2000 alpine aftermarket radio, need keys!

    Hi all,
    I have a E36 M3 that has a Alpine radio, that is dated 2000. CDM-7833

    I dont have the keys to remove the old radio and Im not sure how to make something work.
    I searched online but since that radio basically predates the internet, I cant find anything.

    Does anyone know what the keys would look like to release that radio from the cage?

    I haven't touched a car radio since the mid 90's. So im not sure where to go.

    Thanks!

    Looks like you're set, but for anyone else wondering, look at the picture and you'll see what looks like a small button on either side in the middle. You can move that button up/down with a trim tool or screwdriver if necessary then work the radio out. I just replaced a radio for someone two days ago that had the exact same old Alpine head unit, was able to get it out after a couple minutes.
