The center console and the black bezel around the radio have to be removed.

there are bolts behind the ash tray, behind rear defrost switch, under/yet abouve the cluster section.. you have to take out the whole thing.. pull up the cup holder and there should be bolts there. not sure if those matter though..

take it to the flea market, they will replace it there, cheap lol

You will have to remove your armrest. There are two screws holding the armrest to the floor, and the screws are underneath that removable piece in the armrest itself. After that, the cupholder needs to be removed and there is one screw that needs to be removed towards the front underneath where the cupholder sits. The armrest will be able to be moved. After you have removed the armrest, you should be able to see the two screws holding the black bezel in place by the shifter. Remove those. The next step is to remove your hazard switch and the same-sized black cover because there is one screw behind each one. The black bezel should be able to be removed and the radio will be exposed completely. The rest is common sense. Remove the screw holding the radio in place by the CEL code reader and unplug it the radio from the harness.
