Default Removing Stock Head Unit

Hey guys I tried to search on here but I couldn't find a good set of instructions on how to remove the stock head unit to replace it with an aftermarket radio unit. Could someone please point me in the right direction or if anyone has instructions that'd be great

Thanks

stop a 3f then reverse.... There are 4 screws that hold the radio in place and a plug in the back. Once the radio surround is removed you'll see what you have to do. Bill

If the light on your radio blinks when you shut the key off, it means that the Security Code is activated. You may want to look up how to reset that and set it to off before you remove it as if you ever put it back in or sell it, it will wake up locked and have to be dealt with then.

BTW, dont anticipate a hard time, its like two bolts, six screws and two plugs and it will be in your hand
