    Remove the passenger dash cover and work from the relay panel area as you can see a bit of what's going on there. Or remove the passenger seat and the a/c vent to gain great access under the radio.

    The radio usually snaps into a sheet metal cage which is flimsily attached to the dash. Simply slip a long skinny metal tool in the sides, top and bottom to undue the catches like a slim jim lock pick. Wiggle the radio forward gently.. Anything like a hacksaw blade without teeth or a 10" feeler heavy gauge will work as a tool. Some radios require a narrow hook tool to pick the sides. Nothing special in any case.

    There are standard wire connectors on the radio to disconnect the wiring. You don't need to remove any power for this.

    The installer of my aftermarket radio used a sheet metal screw attached to ground a radio wire in the area near the relay panel.

    The radio has 2 power wires going in and these may be fused near the radio. Also 4 speaker wires, and if the antenna/radio have been updated, there may be an antenna 'up' wire. Otherwise the antenna wires use power from the console switch.
