Does anyone know how to remove the factory radio in one of these? We tried today and failed. We got the screws on the side of the radio, and even had it about 1/4" out. But something was holding it in place and we didn't want to break anything. If it helps, we also removed the whole center console and glove box. We could see all around the radio and couldn't see anything holding it from the sides, bottom, right side or rear.

drop the panel below the steering column, look over to the side of the radio, there is a 10mm bolt that is holding the radio in.

Stupid bolt, the RX8 has the same thing.
