Ignore the steering wheel on the right side, i flipped the pic on photoworks and saved it before i realized it was backwards

Simple.

Locate the two small flaps on either side of the oem deck.
Flip them open.
Insert an 8mm hex wrench(allen wrench works as well)
Twist counter clockwise.
Pull.

That's it. Pretty straight forward as is the wiring

That's what i tried doin. I thought i had the wrong size wrech but the screw just won't fit out the holes. Should i just make the hole bigger so the screw fits or what?

I dunno. It worked for me as well as others on this thread. Did you try the hex nut or an allen wrench. The hex should deffintately work. If all else fails, try a torx bit of the same size. It really shouldn't be that hard....
