Question How to remove stock radio

Pretty simple, but how do you do it? I plan on puttin in a TV tomorrow and will be messin around w/ it. Also where would you suggest puttin a ps2? On my Integra I cut out the bar underneath the passenger seat and had it flush there, but I dont really wanna cut into the floor of my new car so what would you guys suggest?
thanks,
Ty.

taking out the stock HU is pretty simple. pull out the cup holder and you'll see two screws, one on each side. remove those and then take off the trim around the stereo... there should be either four or six clips. once the plastic trim is off, you'll see six screws, three on each side of the radio... take those out and unplug the stereo.

Hmm you don't need to take out the vent screws and the cup holder.

Just pop off the HVAC/stereo faceplate and you have access to the stereo bracket screws. Just be gentle with a screwdriver to pry it off. Be GENTLE dont snap the faceplate. Just pop off one bracket at a time. Once its off the 6 stereo bracket screws are right there.

Sell it to the most retarded STi owner you can find

true this....I just opened my cup holder so I'd have some place to grab. Then I pulled strong but slow and steady until the cover came off.

You'll see 4 or 6 screws...unscrew them. Unplug the antena wire and the wires to the harness....done... you'd think I'd know how many screws are in one since I've had my cover off for like a dang month.
