In tyring to get the radio out of my car I have managed to get a coat hanger stuck in one of the holes and its not budging! Help please with any ideas. I feel so so stupid. (Also put this on the mondeo thread but as that's mainly to do with getting the code thought I'd also post this here). I just wanted some music back in my driving life....Thanks.

Ehhh...... if you put up a pic someone might be able to help you. At the moment all anyone can say is push/pull/wiggle/force the thing out.

How do you expect to get helpful suggestions without pics of your stupidity?

Try rotating the wire, if you haven't already.
Unscrewing it as it were.
