Replacing Stock Head Unit
I have just ordered my new head unit and am looking foward to getting it. However, I was just wondering if you guys could help me out with how to get the old one out.
I am sure I could find out somewhere online but if someone just did or something could you let me know how to get the old out and the new in.
I think I am ok with the harness and dash kit I need, but once I get my deck I will be very anxious to get that thing in there.
Pics would be wonderful!

It's a snap. Pull off all three temperature control *****. There will be a screw behind the left and right ****. Unscrew those and the whole center section just pops out. I've had the best luck by pressing down and pulling out at the top just inside of the vents. Once that's off there are just 4 screws holding the head unit in. I think you can take it from there.

1.)pull the ac ***** off
2.)unscrew both the right and left screw
3.)at the top, push down on the silver while pulling out at the same time
4.)if that doesnt work pull from the bottom
5.)if that doesn't work your being a _____ pull harder
6.)once its off disconnect the ac and hazard lights and stuff from the back
7.) set that piece aside
8.)unscrew your old head unit and its out, you just have to unhook everything behind it

Yep. The hardest part is getting the plugs off.

The first couple of point in the following FAQ will show you the things that you have to remove and unscrew. Hopefully everything goes fine:
