How old is the alpine? anything before 2004 does not have keys. if you remove the trim ring, you will see release tabs ( i guess thats what you call them ) on both sides. it is pretty simple to figure out once you the trim ring off.

You cant just go out and buy Alpine keys anywhere. You should go to your nearest alpine dealer and see if you can buy a set of one of their installers. Most installers keep the keys when they install a radio, meaning they probably have multiple sets. If it is a cool install shop they should sell you a set cheap. Or look on ebay you might get lucky.
