gotta take off the lower dash on drivers side, glove box, centre piece, you gotta pop off the climate control panel to get the the screw underneath it...other then that I don't remember anything really hidden. Good luck!

Other than what Silver_Truck's told you, you should type "Stereo install" in the Search window to get alot of information about what you're up to.

there's a website that shows you step by step instructions on how to install a head unit in almost any vehicle, but of course i can't find itt right now. it's really simple though.

Like said above,you have the lower dash panel under the steering wheel,trim piece around the ignition,heater control panel(snaps in and out),glove box(open it to get to the screws on the left hand side),and then the center trim panel.After you get those pieces out you have to take the 4 screws that hold the stereo/cubby out,then you have to unscrew the cubby from the stock stereo and mount it to the new deck.Make sure you buy the wiring harness for like 20-30 bucks.It will just plug into the trucks harness and make things sooooo much easier.http://www.cardomain.com/item/SCOTA02B

Here it is:

On a side note,you can hook up the dimmer wire (orange).
