You will need to remove the top of the console shifter plate. Three bolts hold it into place Two of the front of the inside of the console underneath the front portion of the console carpet and one in the cup holder normally under the ashtray.
With the console door open lift up and slide the console shifter plate to the rear. That will reveal the two bolts on the bottom of the radio surround bezel, remove those. Now find the top AC vent above the radio surround bezel and remove the two phillip head screws and pull the AC vent towards you. Underneath the AC vent is the last screw for the radio surround bezel.
When the bottom two bolts and the top bolt of the radio surround bezel are out pull the radio surround bezel in the center towards you. You will find its retained by two metal spring clips. I suggest pulling in the middle as that is where the two clips are also so you dont break the bezel.
With the bezel out of the way the bolts retaining the radio are obvious remove them and pull the radio head unit and remove all the harness connectors and the antenna. Have fun. GC

No Problem also if you have an automatic be mindful of the shift lever indicator under the console. Those tend to snap off if you are not careful. When you pull the top of the shifter plate off you will see what im talking about. GC
