screws holding in factory radio

... i just did this install myself too.

... should point out that the 2 screws in underneath the "ashtray" area (hidden by the flap you removed), face DOWN. they are what anchor the factory deck to the car. I had to use a thick, nobby srewdriver with a thick handle to take them out so the screws didn't strip. A 5" screwdriver should suffice. Mine were in VERY tight. IF you can't see them, you should be able to find them with your fingers.

To aid with the removal of the centre console and radio (on piece) , it helped when I reached up behind the radio and pushed it out with one hand while pulling it out from the front with the other.
