Search for details, here's the short of it:

1. remove the cup from your ashtray
2. pry up the trim around your shifter, if its an auto you'll need to get the shift lock disengaged so don't do this while driving
3. pull the vent above the stereo out (if you have bose or the mid level radio, for GXE... I dunno) its kinda tough you want to pull up and out... some people have mentioned screws holding it in.. mine had none.
4. There are 4 screws holding in the stereo and climate controls, undo them
5. extract the stereo and replace you can either use the crutchfield kit or buy the GXE a/c ventilator kit if you don't have a gxe already

use search to find pictures as well

good luck!

Push the EJECT button.... By the way, was it a good cassette? Nissan forgot to give me one...
