hi, the four little holes in the front of the stereo are for 2 special tools. they are cheap (i think) and most shops have them around. it only takes 2 minutes to remove with the tools, so it shouldn't cost much to have a shop do it if you dont want to buy the tools. hope that helps
you can get the u shaped tools at Walmart for about 7 bucks in the car stereo section wamong the installation kits.
I'll add you insert the two tools until you feel the first click. Then push each tool outwards towards the sides of the stereo which releases the catches. While doing that then pull straight out. The tools are readily available anywhere they sell stereos.

send this question next week I will be replacing the stock stereo this weekend if weather permits
If you mean the stock stereo, you have to get these U shaped tools that have nubs on the ends of them. When you insert them, the stereo should pop out enough to pull it the rest of the way out. You could probably get a dealer or stereo place to do it for free if you ask nicely. Also if you order a new stereo they may or may not include the U tools.
You have to unscrew the center console and work your way up.
