radio code / removal tools

[L DC]

I'm not familiar with the TT radio set up, but if is
as the 80's version, I also made a tool out of a wire
clothing hanger; the cheapo version you get from dry
cleaners.

Cut both ends (shoulder end) and work the 45* angle on
each end to fit the wholes on the radio and you're
good to go. 

Just as Britt's homemade tool, my tool also just
disengages the clips and you can just stick you finger
in the tape slot and pull the radio out.

-Regards,

-Louis
