With a dash trim removal tool, pry up on the shifter bezel releasing all clips
Shift shifter to “M” (or neutral if M6) and remove the shifter bezel
Remove (2) 7mm screws from the bottom of the radio bezel
Remove 2 remaining screws on radio
Pull radio out

When I had my Metra kit installed, I took a few pictures. Here is one with the head unit removed. With "slick rick's" directions, you will be able to see what screws and locations he is referring to

The gauge panel will have to be removed in order to access the two screws on the bottom.



You can see the screw holes where "slick rick" has made reference to. You can also see the areas where you are going to have to focus on with your pry tool.



Hope this helps.

Does the console really need to be pulled apart that far?? Was hoping it was just where the 4 pack gauges would be?? I have to pull it out to hook up my pac connector for RCAs.

Actually, my installer, pulled out the console, so he could get to all the wiring. But I don't believe you have to actually pull it back that far. Not 100% sure though...... Primarily, that panel that houses the gauges needs to be removed.

you need to put the top with the 4pac gauges off, this way you can get to the screws, it should take about 1 or 2 mins to get off completly
