easy, just wiggle it around and it will pop out, and then disconnect all the harness' on the back of the unit

here ya go. Best install guide ever. http://www.installdoctor.com/Install...PDF/466037.pdf
I used this awhile back on my first radio. Second time around is easier. How is it just gonna pop out when the screws are hidden behind some of console?

I'm about to install a head unit as well.

I'm taking out an aftermarket alpine and putting a new alpine in.

Can I reuse the adapters and harness kits or do I need new ones?

everything should be reusable unless you cut some wires or break something

OK.

Thanks. The damn thing only has a 14 day return policy, so i wanted to make sure I have what I need in case they aren't reuseable.

on my 94 accord i had to take out front dash, cuz there are some screws holding it in place..and if you have the right plastic harness for the headunit, it should have a place to screw it in also...id rather do that, cuz someone can just steal it ez by just yanking it out.
