Can someone tell me exactly where I am suppose to pry the ashtray off on its right side? I've removed the one screw on the left, but I can't pop off the right side. I've been 2 hours at it and my back hurts, I nearly ripped the entire thing off. Thanks.

BTW I'm in the process of installing a new HU.

 

There's a screw on the left side and a clip on the right side. It should pull straight out after you remove the screw.

 

is it really that hard? maybe 96 is different then 99 but it shouldnt be difficult either way.. just one screw on the 99 and then clip like deezo said

 

ohh man that clip is a *****....here this is what i idid, i put my right hand in through the crack and left hand on the other side...and i pulled like no other and make sure when you pull it you oull it straight towards the shifter....just to get an idea of what the clips look lke its the clips that hold on to the airvent...its like a triangle...

 

Thanks fellas, I finally got it out. I manage to break (or maybe it just came off and feel down into the abyss) one of the ashtray's clips. My radio is installed and working great! It sounds great! It seems like some of the bass is gone but that is a good thing in my eyes (or ears). I only like bass coming out of subwoofer's, not the inside speakers. The CD tray that came with the kit from crutchfield didn't match up with the holes on the racks (the ones that hold the radio). So its just sitting there unfastened, however its held so tight the screw would make little diffrence anyways. So far so good! I'm loving my new kenwood HU. Now I know the true meaning of fidelity.
