I have a 2003 Passat wagon and I want to remove the factory radio in order to install something with more features (Satellite radio, MP3 CD playback, bluetooth, etc.). I've ordered the new radio from Crutchfield and they supplied the 4 special keys for the vehicle in order to remove the factory radio.

Here is the problem though....3 keys work perfectly. They "click" into place and everything. However, the 4th key (upper left) just slides in and won't click anything. Apparently something gotten broken in there and I even took it to the dealer hoping they might have a better solution, but they simply did the same thing I did (4 special keys) and said they couldn't get it either. They want to charge me $150 (or more) to take apart the whole dash in order to try and remove the factory radio.

Is there ANY other way or suggestions on how to remove the factory radio?
