How to remove panels?

I have used the search, and for the life of me on google or here I cant find on how to remove the dash, and everything neccesary to put a new headunit in for an fd.

I went to best buy today and this weirdo **** told me its going to be 150 bucks to install my head-unit and another 50 to put the usb wire into my glove compartment. O.o!!!!

I would really appreciate a link or a guide on how to. Thank you very much.

Where would these forums be? I'm about to take my dash out and any tips would probably help.

Thats the thing.. The mid panels pops right out, and then you need to take the panel that holds the clusters, after that you will be able to take the panel that holds the ac / and radio ... and I think I might need to take off the steering wheel to take the cluster panel off... I just want some help I spent 3 hours on google last night with nothing to show for it.

I hope you were not just talking about taking out a stock radio. Use the DIN removal tools and it slides out? Run the usb to the glove box, just fish it through which takes 10 seconds.
