Default Stereo removal: how do you access it?

Like the title says, how do you gain access to the head unit? Basically remove the silver bezel?

Also, I'm replacing the door speakers. Which wires are positive and which are negative. I've got Orange and dark green on the rt and Light blue and Dark blue on the left...

No, it's more involved than just removing the bezel. You have to remove part of the console and it's such a pain getting the connectors off under the cover.

Here's where I put in a IPOD adapter.

Another forum member, Karlk, has some great instructions that I used to get the head unit out.

Take a look at the audio section; lots of tips there. There's a FAQ area for C6's. It's all there.

Taking the console out it pretty easy and quick, UNLESS it's your first time... Learning all the connectors can be frustating, but once you know exactly where to push/lift it's easy.
