How can I remove my factory fitted CD player from my 2005 Honda Civic?

The Civic's player has no holes for the removal keys, however it does have one of those gaps under the stereo for storage.
I've tried taking the storage section out but cannot get a decent grip (There seems to be something sticky on it).
Does anyone know how I take this stereo out or whether it's best to get someone to fit my new stereo for me?

Cheers

To get the player out of the car, go to the following website (pro-fit-intl.com). That company sells dashboard brackets for cellphone holders, ipod holders, etc. The key though is that they tell you how to remove the decorative bezels around the radio so you can get to the screws that hold the radio in place. They provide unique instructions for most every year and make of car. I found mine and printed off the one page. This of course assumes that they recommend that their bracket attaches to one of the radio bolts of your car. I have put in six different cellphone brackets over the years and all hooked to one of the radio bolts.

Anyway, the instructions will tell you how to remove the decorative bezel to expose the bolts. Simply remove each bolt and slide the radio/cd player out.
