i cant get my alpine out of the dash.

i do NOT have the keys to get it out.

what do i do ?

 

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.

 

get a big magnet

 

for real though, i need to get it out.

its a newer edition.

where do u buy the keys? i dont wanna break anything

 

Just stop by any install shop and ask them to do it. Tip the guy $5.

 

Jus take trim ring off and use a small flat-head driver

 

the car is off the road...

what do u think i should do?

 

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.
