* Phillips-head screwdriver
* Socket wrench set

Instructions:
1) Disconnect the battery. This will prevent any electrical accidents from happening while you're working on the radio.
2) Remove the center console. There are four Phillips-head screws that hold the center console in place. Remove these screws and then carefully pry up the console to remove it.
3) Locate the radio. The radio is located behind the center console. There are four bolts that hold the radio in place. Remove these bolts and then carefully pull the radio out of the dash.
4) Disconnect the wiring harness from the radio. There is one large wiring harness that connects the radio to the rest of the car's electrical system. Disconnect this harness by pressing down on the release tabs and then pulling it apart.
5) Install the new radio. Insert the new radio into the dash and then reconnect the wiring harness. Secure the radio in place with the four bolts that you removed earlier.
6) Replace the center console. Carefully align the center console with the dash and then press down on it to snap it into place. Secure the console with the four Phillips-head screws that you removed earlier.
7) Reconnect the battery. Turn on the radio to test it for function
