Default Help Removing Clock Panel

I have a 2009 IS250 and I know there are some special picks used to take out the clock panel to get to the navigation disc tray, but I cannot seem to find it in my car. I've contacted my local Lexus dealer and said they can get the picks within ONE MONTH!! Are there any other ways of taking it out besides using the picks?

Thanks for the reply. Ive actually already searched the tool bag in the trunk... the trapezoid shaped one right? If so I do not seem to have it.

Find a tiny screw driver you just need one and just push each side out

You could use a really skinny screw driver or even a paper clip that's on the thicker side.

You need to have a thin screw driver or paper clip in the hole and work each side out, then do the same for the other side. Do it with patience and it'll pop right out. When you have the screw driver in the hole, it basically unhooks itself and then you need to gently pry it out one side at a time.
