Special Radio Removal Tools. Almost like keys. Once you get those i'm going to post a link to a video how to. Its for a Vw Passat, but its the same for a NB just that the NB uses 2"keys" instead of 4.

Here is That Link

Unfortunately, I do not have a link as to where to buy the keys. Fortunately, I do have a link to making "Ghetto" keys that also work.

Just Click here and scroll down until you see the folder midway through the 1st post.

Merry Belated XMas and hope this helps you out!

If you go down to any local audio shop they will take it out for FREE!! You dont need to buy anything.

Just do not use the keys I recommended in the 2nd post. They aren't sturdy enough. A slightly modded hacksaw blade worked great.
