Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent an accidental short circuit. Place your
index fingers on the inner edges of the a/c vents (shown above) and push inward. Grasp the
exposed lip of each vent opening ("A") and pull out on the radio trim bezel. Remove the dash
trim bezel. (The airbag wiring does NOT need to be disconnected). Using Metra's 86-5618 or
AW-FDRT, pull the factory head unit from the dash and disconnect the wiring.
