1. Remove the top center air vent assembly. It comes straight out but there are clips along the top and bottom seams. Disconnect harness.

2. Remove shift k**b and the shift console cover by gently pulling up to release clips. Take your time so you don't break any of the plastic pieces.

3. Remove shift console top cover trim by gently pulling up. Note harness.

4. Remove the vertical trim columns to the right and left of the storage box (that is below the climate controls) by pulling straight out - again releasing clips.

5. The space behind the vertical trim columns will reveal screws that hold down the storage box. Remove the screws and partially pull out the box. Note harness.

6. (Steps 2 thru 5 are necessary to gain access to two bottom bolts securing the bottom of the head unit/climate control assembly) Remove the two bottom bolts.

7. (Step 1 gains access to two top bolts securing the top of the head unit/climate control assembly) Remove the two top bolts.

8. Slide head unit/climate control assembly out. Disconnect harnesses.

Before you start - disconnect the negative battery terminal and set your shifter as far back as possible. Good luck.

also try just driving to a circuit city store. Get to know the Stereo rep just chat with them, usually if you get on their good side you can just ask him if he knows or ask him if he could find out they usually provide you with the information just like you were there own friend or something
