    Default Hex key for radio?

    Hey guys,
    I am trying to install a handfree kit in my car and so I need to remove my radio. I have the radio code and am all set to do it, except that I have no idea what size hex key or Allen wrench to use on those little screws on opposite sides of the radio. I tried every one I own, two complete metric and US sets and not a one worked. The tool kit in the trunk was of no help, either. Any idea what size this is and where I might be able to get one? Thanks!

    Brian

    its a special key, not quite hex, anyway I bought one from the stealer awhile back, just a few dollars. I think some have been able to use a hex or a small screwdriver to turn it though.
