That Kenwood unit usually comes out with Kenwood's removal tools.

Also, if this install was done by someone else, you want to make sure they did not screw the unit into a bracket in the back or side. Since this is a Honda, they shouldn't have.

The underdash panel would need to be remove to see if they did.

if all else fails, run by your nearest stereo shop and ask if they can pull it out for you.. they more than likely will have the keys for it....
