Don't pull too hard. Wink

There are lots of little peices attached that you have to get to. Remeber, you have to take out the center storage section, to get to some of the bolts.

the whole top comes off and you have access to all the fasteners

john is absolutly correct. EDIT* as is lb985iroc

i'll put it into a little more detail for you.

first remove the torx screws around the radio/climatecontrol bezzle and remove it by pulling the right side out and sliding the bezzle towards the passanger side.

then remove the storage compartmant from the center console base. this may require removal of the lid but i think it does not.

now allong the front where the bezzle was, under the dash there are two medium size bolts (7-10MM not sure). remove those.

now, under the storage compartment you removed, remove the two bolts (10MM?) holding the base to the floor.

at this point you just need to remove the unit from the car without getting it cought o any wiring.

haha. thanks for the help guys. got it out with minimal problems. so the interior is pretty much stripped, cept the seatbelts, those will require some serious muscle. ill get em tomorrow as well as actually pull the carpet.
