What you will need:
- Paint scraper (don't get a flimsy one)
- Piece of cloth (glasses cleaning cloth works wonder)

I removed the bottom piece first by inserting the paint scraper with the cloth attached at the front so I don't scratch the surface finish. Push the scraper in and pry it open by flexing the scraper end toward the steering wheel. It'll pops open then go to the other side and do the same thing. Then slowly pull it out with your hand.


Here are the clips on it:


The upper piece is a toughy but take your time and slowly work your way around it and it'll comes out in no time.

Start with the bottom clips: You probably going to need 2 scrapers for this one, one to hold the rubber down and one to pry the clip. Once one of the side is out you can then pull it out with your hand SLOWLY! Remember to use force.

Right side of the housing:




Now you can remove the 4 screws holding the factory radio and install an aftermarket receiver or MP3 player.

Be patience and careful, it's not really that hard.

Whatever you do, DO NOT REMOVE THE AIRBAG CONNECTOR!

Cheer!

 

To remove the radio, there are 6 screws to remove. NOT 4. Two black, and 4 silver.

 

Thanks for the write-up!
