Try taking the plastic that surrounds it first. It should be attached with clips. Just pull and it will come out. Then see what's holding the HU in place.

I tried taking the plastic off, and it seems impossible. I guess I cd headunit I bought and this box with 2 subs in it for nothing! AAHH

Ok, thanks alot! At least now I know what direction to go in. I'll go check out the console today.

Do us all a favor and post pics if you do find how to take it out.
To help anyone who might ask in the future, you know?

Ok, i took off the plastic trim around the console there after removing the trim from around the e-brake and moving the trim around the shifter. It was an ass getting the screw out from the ashtray, but I did it. Now its just that little plastic around the front of the radio.. hmmmmmm

Ok, i pulled on the plastic around the radio and the front of the radio came off. I said "O **** what did i do, then i noticed that i had disengaged some little tabs in the radio. I then used 2 U shaped clotheshangers to push these little tabs, allowing me to pull out the radio. What a job

Intruder, you didn't do yours yourself?

I didn't have to go through that process. I got my car used (as you already know) and it had an old Alpine deck already installed. When I wanted to upgrade the deck I got another Alpine because I knew that I would be able to unplug the old one, plug in the new one, and PLAY.
