Different stereo removal tips

Ive seached around and Im getting mixed information.
I would like to remove my stereo.
One says to remove the wood trim and its only 4 bolt/screws.
The other says I need to peel back the carpet and remove a coupla badly placed screws.
WHats the truth?
Ill remove if I can do it in a hour or so, but if I have to spend all day Ill just forget it.
So is it just the wood trim and 4 screws?? or do I need to tear apart the car?
thanks

BTW The Ipod with FM transmitter doesnt sound that shit hot...

I don't know if you can really get it out by pulling back the carpter, I've never tried, but I hear you can at least get the radio code that way.

I did the writeup with pulling off the trim, I do it all the time now, can pull my screen out in less than 5 minutes, but it should take you less than an hour easily, maybe 15 minutes the first time.

Yep.. wood trim and the four screws

Easy for the owner and hopefully not too easy for a thief.

Yup, that's all.

When you take the wood trim off, behind the climate control there are two wire connections you have to undo, but they are pretty easy to get to, there are 3 or 4 tabs above the glovebox, two below the radio, and one between the radio and temp sensor, i think i took a pic of where they all were..

Haha...in addition to UnsanePyro's thread on removing the radio, I have posted a thread on adding in an Aux-In for my iPod. Check that thread out.
