okay i know this is a dumb *** question...i've removed the little smokers tray and the bottom 2 screws of the metal frame, but then i pull up on it a little and everything just kinda goes with it...and i can't see any other screws to take out, but i know that something is going on..i just can get it off...do i have to pop out another peice? and if so, which one?!? or just i just need to pull really really hard?

There might be one or two bolts BEHIND the radio instrument cluster thing.

I remember those on one of my cars. I dont know if it was the I30

Hmm..

go to www.autozone.com and pull up the repair guide.

I'm pretty sure there are two more screws at the top you have to remove as well... it's been a while since I've taken it all out, so I can't remember exactly. I believe you have to take off the part that covers the climate control to get to the screws though... that piece pops off I think. If it were me, I'd start at the top and pop the section out with the air vents and work my way down. It took a while to figure it all out when I first took my dash apart, but you figure it out eventually.

well i tired to get the air vents...they seem like they are stuck in there pretty tight.....i just dont want to snap anything

The air vents just pop out, no screws holding those in. Then the section under that, the piece covering the climate control just pops off too, once you get those two pieces off, and the bottom part which you said you already got, it should be fairly easy from that point to see the screws you need to remove.

its the peice with the clock that kind of pops out...

the screws on the side of the radio there will be 8 are impossible to get out....Use a power drill with the right size phillips head on there to get them off...i first started with a 6.9 Volt drill then went to a 12V...those screws are in there very good..thats the hardest part of the instaliation and you wont be able to get them out by hand

to add to what matty said, if the screws on the side of the head unit don't want to come out, tighten it just a hair and it will snap free, then loosen it. it sounds retarded, but trust me - it works every time.
