Grab the A/C vents firmly. Pull out and slightly up. You'll think it's about to break, and then bam. It pops out. Always a bitch the first time. Next, take a tiny screwdriver, and remove the little coin holder down by the gear selector. Reach in with your finger towards the rear, and feel for the little clamp closer to the armrest. Push up on it from the inside. It should pop out. I believe there is also a small phillips head screw in the ashtray beneath the little velour insert. Pull out the insert, and look to see if there's a screw there. If so, remove it, and then the ashtray should pop out as well. Once all the traim pieces are removed, you'll see 4 screws holding the radio and A/C control unit in place. Remove those four screws, and unplug everything of course, and you should be set.

Alright sit down, take a deep breath, and check out this website.
Car stereo modder's dream come true. I've used this site a dozen times, and for all of you out there who haven't, you just now realize how easy installing that deck could have been.
