There are some YouTube vids out there. It's easy though.

Open your ashtray first, it's easier to get your hands near the bottom clips of the radio surround bezel. Start at each bottom end of the bezel and pull towards you slowly until it pops off. You'll have to use some force. Once you get the bottom corners off, just work your way up to the top. It gets easier to remove once you pop one or two clips. Then the whole front piece surrounding the radio and temp controls comes off. Unclip the top "Passenger Airbag Off" harness to give you more room.

Once you get that done, you'll see the stock head unit and the 4 bolts holding it on. Unscrew those, pop the head unit out, unplug the harness, and you're done. Easy peezy.
