    Hello all.

    i did a search, but didn't find anything for a how to or guide to remove the factory radio.
    is there a specific set of instructions preferably with pictures that shows how to remove it ?

    i need to get at the back of it in order to install the VAIS MML that i just bought for the car.
    i know that he two silver strips either side of the radio just pull off, but after that im lost...

    if there is no guide, i will make one once i figure it all out....

    thanks in advance.

    Jason.

    It'll cost you $10–$15, but Crutchfield's MasterSheet instructions have helped me a few times over the years with a few cars, including with removing the radio in my 2005 a few weeks back. MasterSheets have to be ordered over the phone, apparently, which is obviously less than convenient for international orders, but I've found them to be a big help.

    i just watched the video a few times before heading out to the garage and tackling the job.

    installed the MML, programed it and it's up and running.
    i will add a video demonstration to my mods thread tomorrow..
