pop off the plastic around the dash and radio. It should slide right out i memory serves me. If you arent good with soldering, take the project to your local car audio shop. They could use the biz.

seaway10,

The removal process of the radio is a relatively simple process as the panel in front of the radio/HVAC control/instrument panel is just held in with clips. Once removed, the radio also just pulls out of the dash once the tabs on either side of the radio are pushed down to release them.

If your replacement radio does have a code in it, review the information in this thread to unlock it. viewtopic.php?f=63&t=42
