its not hard at all. You open the radio door and pull at it until it pops out...then i think there is 4 screws holding it in.

There's two little tabs that you have to squeeze in and pull. You have to pull it at a little angle so work with it. It'll feel like you're about to break it but you gotta give it some force for it to pop out. Then there's a couple screws and it's out.

open the radio door and pull it straight out. it won't break. 4 screws to holding in the brackets that hold the radio. you'll have to put the brackets on your new radio to put it in. it's like a 2 on the easy scale man

i think im going to do a DIY, because ive taken out my headunit at least 15-20 times already...

1. pop up center console and shift towards rear of car...

2. use a plastic pry bar or wrap tape around a screwdriver so you dont scratch anything and carefully pry back the top section where the vents are located... wiggle it and as when it come free, pull from the bottom on both sides... there are 3 clips on the bottom...

3. take a screwdriver and remove 4 screws...

4. pull headunit out

5. to head and say "damn that was soooo easy"

6. Reverse directions to reinstall...

Sidenote... i like to pop the console up just because it makes the install 1000x easier... ive done it both ways, and the extra 30 seconds it takes is well worth...
