The stereo is very easy to remove. Once you remove the little plastic covers on the left and right sides of the factory stereo, losen the small screws and the stereo will slide out.

You will notice a plastic back support braket with a hole in it. Mounted to the back will be a switching mechanism with two wires coming off it.
