If you push them in too far, you can push the tabs on the lock mechanism out to a point where the correct tool won't even release it. I've had a ford or two where someone tried the coat hangar method and went too far, and I had to take the radio out in pieces.

I don't know how tight space is back there on a stock fox, but if you can get your head up by the gas pedal and look toward the back of the radio, you may be able to see what you're working with. If you can get to them, all they do is push in toward the radio. Maybe you can get a long flathead in through the back and release the clips.

If you do buy the keys, just slide them in gently until you feel them click. Then angle the keys away from the radio and pull out on it.
