Hey thanks man for the quick reply. I got it out finally with a very small screwdriver. It will not be going back in. I'm really not that impressed with the harmon kardon sound in the car. I'm going to take the nav unit in the trunk, the head unit and cd changer out and sell them. I really dont know how much they are worth. Everything is in great working order and it all looks good as new.

I was thinking they use the little 5 point star tool, but I couldnt remember. Glad you got it out. Good luck on your sale. You might even think about keeping it so if/when you sell your car, you can return to stock. Just a thought. Come check out the lounge, that's where the craziness happens...
