thats easy to do, just grab 2 knives from your kitchen (assuming you don't have the removal keys) and pull the old radio out by sticking them on both sides of the radio, then yank on the deck but not too hard so you dont' mess up the dash kit, then pull out the cage by bending the tabs back up and pull out the harness, then wire up the new one and put the new one in

the only other way would be to take out the whole climate control unit and and do as i stated above, to do that you have to remove the panel directly under the steering colum, then remove the 4 screws on (2 on each side) then two underneath (by the cigarette lighter spot) then once you get that panel off there is 4 more screws on the bottom side attached to metal then the unit will pull out (w/ a lil resitance) do reverse to put back in
