nvm i figured it out. It REALLY sucked. BAsicalaly it was what you said RRRRRRRRRRRRRX7 haah. After all the trim pieces were off, we had to take 4 thin allen wrenches, press them into the key holes of the stock radio, have my friend push those allen keys in while i pulled the radio out. It was definitely a 2 man job. Ill post pics of the work done
