Need help removing radio..Qucik!!!

I'm trying to get the radio out but I cant find what's holding it on. I have 2 screws at the bottom removed but I cant find a way to get the top undone (under the center vents). Do they need to be removed or what?. If you know please help, my interior is in pieces and I still cant get this undone!!! Thanks in advance

Pull out the center vents. I generally prey from the sides, but be VERY careful not to screw up your dash.

Yes the vents are just clipped in...They way I did it was try to pry it in an upward motion...Dont pull it directly out, it wont budge...Just be careful and pull the vent upwards and you should be safe..Then under there you will see the remaining 2 screws you need to remove to get your unit out....Good luck

Exactly right, and it's much more difficult than you think

I used a pick tool and inserted it thru the vent and gently pryed the clip inward. I needed a pen-light to see where to pry. It's very hard the first time but easy after that.
