Sorry about the delay in answering your question. If you still need assistance in removing your factory radio, check out this document:

This is an instruction manual for a mounting kit designed for the Tundra, and it includes illustrated directions for removing the stock head unit.
Hope this helps!

QUESTION: My JBL 6 disc Unit was unrepairable. CAn you tell me what other "Factory" units will fit the 05 Tundra. My faceplate id is A56839 and the model number on the top of the Cd player case is 86120-0c150 Ref # CQ-ET1463X
Thank you,
Michael
AnswerMichael,
Sorry, but I don't have a lot of information available regarding the various OEM radio units that will work in your vehicle. You'll definitely want to choose a JBL unit; a non-JBL radio will not work with the rest of your audio system. You can find quite a few replacement radio units, specifically for the 04-05 Tundra, from various sellers on eBay.
Several weeks ago, I answered a question from someone who was attempting to make a non-JBL head unit work in a vehicle equipped with a JBL system. In that case, the questioner was able to open the units, remove the working 6-disk changer mechanism from the non-JBL radio, and use it to replace the non-working CD changer in her JBL head unit. If you're able to find a non-JBL 6-disk changer system more easily than a JBL unit, this might be worth a try.
Hope this helps!
Brian
