take a thin flat headed screwdriver and start pulling at the edges of the plastic that goes around everything (head unit, hazards, clock) then everything will start pulling out from their its super easy


1.start popping shit off with screwdriver
2.unplug clock/hazards
3.INSTALLLLLLLL

It's really not hard, the 97's have seperate pieces in the console, like shiney said, just pop it out. Some of the screws are a bitch, but if you're just swapping stock to stock, just plug and pray, you won't have to mess inside the console

nm when you take out the thing under the headunit, there are 2 screws revealed in the front, just gotta find a shorter screwdriver to get to em

wireless rox, that's a good idea shiney, I should just hook the wireless in the laptop I have setup in my car up to wireless.
