Here is the starting point, its a good idea to lay down a towel over your center console to avoid any accidental scratches while you are working.
Carefully use a screwdriver or trim removal tool to pop out the trim around the HVAC controls, be careful and use a towel if needed so you dont mar any of the plastic.
Unplug the HVAC controls, these plugs use a little rotating lever to push the plug out of the controls, If your car has the second row of buttons below the HVAC unclip and unplug these as well.
Unclip the HVAC controls from its surrounding trim piece.
Take out the two screws under the stereo, pull it out and unplug it.
Take out the screws holding the radio bracket in the dash and pull the bracket out.
Now you have a big hole in your dash, job is done!
