or maybe the button/clip broke so it was glued on?

ya there is a release button and ya ive tried pushing it.. i dont think its glued on either.. if its broken doesnt that usually mean that the face wont stay in place? i dont know tho.. my last one got stolen and i dont want this one to get stolen... i guess i mite have to take it to an audio shop or something..see if they can figure it out.. thanks for the suggestions tho

try a flat head.




it works lol. or u can just take the trim completely off the radio with the face and see why it wouldnt come off. but hey. there's a reason why it's glue or wont come off. why dont u leave it alone before you break it?

NO, DON'T PRY AT IT!!

Did you buy it off the display? It has the security screw in it still. You'll need a jewelers phillips head screw driver.
