You didn't say what year but most newer ones use a tool you can buy or just cut two pieces of coat hanger and push them in the holes on each side and pull out. The vent problem is most likely a vacuum motor or vacuum line problem.

Take a look at the radio, you should see the two holes on each side. When you push the tool into them it releases the radio.

Wire size required is larger than coat hanger wire, something around a 10g size will work a lot easier. Just bend it into a U shape with approx. 5" legs. Copper ground wire will work fine.
