top vent will feel like it will break but it wont. You will have to use a screw driver or something flat and stiff to pry it out.

stick your fingers int he top vent and pull up and out ... it will click out
behind it are 2 screw that hold the frame the radio sits in
then take out the console piece around the shifter
theres a screw in the ashtray you have to take out
then just pop it out with a flat head
then behind that there are 2 screw the hold the botton of the frame
that holds the radio in place
when all 4 screw are out pull out the radio with the fram and install ur pac

Doesn't make much sense, my hands are fine. Loosen your straps.

Just like the guys said, just pull straight towards you. There's really nothing to grab, but if you can get your fingers in the vents, the bottom part will come up, then pull like hell towards you. Stupid design but pulling like hell will make it come out.

This is so easy. I must have pulled mine out a zillion times. Just pull it out where the thinner trim meets the air vents and yank. Don't be skeeered. This part is only $110 if you bust it.
