Take the side liner off your trunk. You'll see a few #13 nuts holding the cd changer bracket in place. Start removing them until your cd changer comes out. Unplug the 2 or 3 connectors from the back of the cd changer and its out.
FYI, the amp is directly underneath the cd changer, also attached to the bracket that holds everything in place.

I was able to remove my cd changer in 15 minutes, boy that's easy but the fun part is I remove the cover to find out if there is any serviceable parts inside, nothing I can do much. I guess my cd reader is kaput. I 'll be looking for a new plug and play cd changer now . anybody got suggestion? Appreciate it.

You need a new reader lens on the cd changer (if its skipping), if its dead I'm assuming water damage. In that case cover up its place and use it as a place for your fluid fill ups. Get yourself an aftermarket head unit and some peace of mind.
