your gonna need to take off some of the dash to get the factory head out. if if i were u i would take it to circuit city to put the headunit in they only charge 47.99 and you'll need a dashkit and wireharnesses for her so the total will probably workout to be like 100 bucks for everything installed. i work there so if u need to kno anything else let me know. they might need to order the dash i had my manager put in an order for some so we would have the dash when i needed it but ya it'd be like 100 for them to do and its clean job circuit it the only one who carrys smart cables which are the cables that dont require any hardwiring or anything just clip right in for you. gl bro like i said lemme kno if u need anything else

did your car come with the pioneer in it when you baught it. if so then you might be sol but if you baught it then the box containing the HU should have the tools for removeing it. they should be flat and L shaped there should be 2 of them all you would do is remove the plastic around the stereo and then insert the tool one on each side left and right side at about the middle point from the top to bottom. but there should be instructions and pics in the stereo owners manual. let me know if you need more help.
