A taped screwdriver and 10mm socket wrench or something similiar is all you'll need.

First pry off the emergency light button from the top part. Not just the cap, the actual button. That hole will help you to pull the A/C vent piece out. But don't just yank with all you've got. When you've got it loose just set it up top out of the way so you can unscrew the two bolts you see.

Then pull the e-brake, twist off the shift knob, and open the middle arm rest. Pull up on the center piece with the cup holders and set it off to the side. Now pull out the little compartment below the A/C controls to expose two more bolts. There's three there but ignore the far left one. Now you can pull out the headunit.

Just pull. There's just some plug like things holding it in.

once you select the disc button you just press it again and you should hear the ipod playing.. the volume needs to be turned up a little bit more than normal to hear,

i bought mine off ebay for 59.99 free ship

Did you get something like this ?? Also after you connect it with the radio you don't have control over the ipod right ? so can't you have the volume set up high ?? Also the music comes out clear ?
