There are no removal holes - therefore the outer casing of the dash needs to be removed so that you can access the 4 tork screws at the sides of the radio. If yiou feel under the radio the dash is separate from the dash panel below. But I think starting here will lead to a broken dash panel. I think the coin trays above have to come out and underneath them there will be two tork or spax screws to get things started.
If am still searching for a way in - but I do know the dash cover has to come off because the radio is screwed in.
Let me know if you get any further - I need to do the same

WRONG! There are four removal holes... Two at the Top, Two at the bottom. (Each corner) You have to go to a dealership or local audio store to get the radio removal tool. They are the size of a house key with a 'finger' ring on the end, and a very thin blade that has directional slots to 'unlock it' from the dash piece...' Be very careful when inserting the keys, you can wedge the clips that hold the radio in making it more difficult to remove...

1. Open the ash tray and remove the felt lined insert, behind it is a bolt you need to remove. 2. With that bolt removed you can pop out the ash tray/climate control unit, and you will be able to see the two bottom bolts for the radio. 3. Above the radio you will need to pop out the ac vent, it isn't screwed in so you just have to pull on it and it will pop out. With the vent removed you will see the top two bolts for the radio. 4. Remove the 4 bolts and the radio will slide out.
