3. remove the 7mm screws from behind both previsoly removed parts
4. pop off the whole dash from top to bottom , its all one peice
5. take out 4 screws that hold deck in
6. see its a can-bus system and there is no video our and get mad.
Be VERY VERY VERY carefull, the hard plastic dash is VERY easy to scratch, o suggest getting plastic pry tools or be extremely carefull
