Video tutorial

To remove the center dashboard panel, open the glove compartment located on the passenger side so that the screws inside can be removed. By unscrewing these screws, you can completely remove the glove compartment, allowing you to pry underneath the cover that surrounds the center panel.

This can then be detached by disconnecting all the connectors inside; once the cover is removed, you will need to unscrew the screws that secure the radio so that it can also be removed from its location.
