Answer
Hi
Here is the step by step to remove the Instrument Cluster Trim Panel (The panel that surrounds the radio and cluster assy)
1)Disconnect the battery ground negative cable.
2)Remove the left instrument panel (IP) insulator.(This is the panel down by the pedals)
Remove the steering column opening filler. (This is the hard plastic panel between the panel just removed and the steering column)
Remove the knee bolster. (This is a metal plate under the opening filler)
Lower the steering column.
Grasp both sides of the bottom edge of the IP trim plate and pull out in order to release the retainer clips.
Disconnect the electrical connector from the fog lamp switch.
Remove the instrument cluster trim plate from the IP.

You should then see the radio screws.

Installation is reverse of removal.

Hope this helps
Just advice from experience.
Good Luck
