Once you remove the radio then you will see that the little pocket has a clip on each side. You push in on each clip and pull out at the same time.. very easy slides right out.

Deltasonik is correct, once the radio is out the compartment comes out very easily. You will, however, need radio keys to get the radio out.

Ah... I remember that now. I wanted to take it out before and I know I had to take out the radio, but I didn't remember what for.
