The trim ring around the radio needs to come off. I bought a set of plastic pry tools from Crutchfield that made it very easy. You slide one of the pry tools between the edge of the radio and the surrounding trim ring. It will start to come off, then move to another spot and continue your way around the radio. The entire trim area, with the heater controls will come off. The first time I did it it was a little unnerving, but I have done it 4 or 5 times now and it is really no big deal. Four screws hold the radio in, take those out and the radio will come out. Good luck.
