Ditto both the above, but the instructions, [step 12] are a little misleading, 2nd sentence, "But, the wiring attached to the rear of the radio is secured with clips to the frame of the dash" It is the radio/climate control housing that is clipped to the dash, and although unplugging the brown an blue plug may help, [they will have to be unplugged anyway] it will not make it any easier to "unclip" the housing, best way is to press, [from behind] on the housings mounting bracket, the one that the 2 rear 8mm machine screws go into, it will "pop" out the bottom of housing enough for you to get your fingers in behind the housing edge, without pulling the bottom of housing out too much, [rest of clips will only bind] grab hold of housing firmly with both hands and with a quick short jerk straight out, "pop' the rest of the clips free, some of the clips may come off the housings "clip posts" find them and reinstall them on the "posts. Do NOT use any kind of pry tool between the housing and dash, you WILL damage the dash. 94
