96 Camaro headunit removal

[kala]

Hey wassup guys, i was absent from this website last 1 1/2 month due to my moving to a new house. i have so much catching up to do. i have a new idea for my audio setup. i want to add sirius sattelite radio in my system. In order to do that, i need to remove my headunit to connect alpine Ai-net cable. This cable will connect sirius receiver to my headunit. Now, i just looked at the FAQ section and this is what it said,
15.How do I remove the factory radio?
"The trim panel around the radio will pull off. Once you get a grip on it, just pull and it will pop off. If you have trouble getting a grip then try using a dull thin object such as a butter knife to slide behind the panel so that you can get a better grip." It doesn't say for which years this instruction is usable. so, can someone look the picture and tell me if that's the piece i need to pull or maybe it secured with screws since mine is 96.

its a piece of cake, these cars are very prone to stealing the radios out of them because of how easy it is. The only good news is if you locked your radio with a code, then they are useless if stollen. Pull trim off undo 2 bolts and thats about it to get the radio disconnected from the dash minus the wires.

Those directions are fine for your 96. The trim piece is held in place by several "clips" that pull STRAIGHT OUTWARD. It does require a slight amount of muscle. Not too much in any one area, but a little tug is required. Once the first clip releases, you'll see how it's secured and the rest is a piece of cake.

P.S. you pic didn't work

P.P.S. If you need to use a butter knife, maybe try covering it with a rag or something soft to prevent scratching your dash all up. [img]smile.gif[/img]
