First you have to remove the big dash shroud that covers the whole driver's dash and center. Then you should be able to unscrew the head unit from it's brackets.

Welcome to the forum, BTW!!!

Have you ever replaced a stock radio before?

You might want to have someone help you do it.

You want to drop the plate by your feet with the 2 clips. then you need to remove the harder plastic plate under the steering column with 4 screws. Then you will take off the fuse cover on the left side of the dash to take out a screw there, another one by opening the glove box and on the left front of it.

You will also need to remove the platic trim around the ignition that says "Start, run" etc.

I beleive that is all of them. Now you need to carefully, yet forcefully remove the dash.

One quick tip, tilt the steering wheel down and start on the left side. As you start to work the part where the gauge cluster is, you will pull it out, lift it up a bit an move that portion over the dash. Then when you have it disconnected from the dash, you can swing it out the driver side door.

There should be 2 more bolts to the radio.
