Unsnap the bezel to get to the screws.
My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.

Thanks for the info.  Just so I don't screw it up - do I just pop/pry it off with a screwdriver or putty knife?  Any trick to it?

If you can't get it with your bare hands, I'd rather use a putty knife since it's got a wider surface, and is less likely to mar the dash. Some people will also wrap with electrical tape as well. It's up to you. Many times when you're trying to figure out how to remove a radio, you can look up your vehicle on the metra site: www.metraonline.com. Then you can select the installation kit and download instructions as a pdf file. Another cool site to use is http://www.pro-fit-intl.com/ColdFusion/Compatibility.cfm. Again, just select your vehicle, and click the part number listed.

Terrific!  Worked great.  But now, I find that the vehicle radio harness does not match the colors in the 12volt chart.  I guess I need to post for that now.  (If you happen to have correct color chart, I would sure appreciate your passing it along.)

Websites were great - thanks for the tips.

Rather than hacking the factory harness, visit that metra site again, and locate the proper harness for your car. Wire this harness color for color to the new stereo, and plug it in.

for sure get a wire harness
If we learn from each success and
each failure, then we can improve ourselves
