How the HECK do I get the radio out?

I just bought my 2001 CL last week. I love it.
I also want to put Sirius in it. I've got the tuner working, via the cassette adapter right now, but i'd LOVE to know how to get the !%$!@#$@# radio out, so I can install a BlitzSafe adapter i've ordered.

I got as far as getting the trim on the sides off, and unscrewing the front screws, but the radio won't budge. What am I missing?

You need to take the center console out and work your way forward..

BUT alot of people with blitzsafes have been able to take off the trim and side on the passenger side and reach in there and install the plugs..

Using two girly hands (mine) I was able to install with the trim off the sides. This is probably the best way to go about trying, I would never want to try and remove the stereo for it.

Okay there is a process to this, it takes a bit of work, PM me and i'll write you up a How-To tonight, it's pretty simple, you just have to take a lot of parts off.
