does anyone know how to remove the center part where the head unit is (it looks like it comes out in a unit to me) it would be much easier to get everything in there with it out

it is tight in there !

I was having the same problem with my car, figuring out how to take everything off. However, Crutchfield has a GREAT master sheet that you can probably buy for your car. I couldn't find them on their site, so I called em and asked. It was 4.95 w S&H and it got to my house two days later.

That should help you a lot. And it really helps in not breaking something on your car :P
