Answer
To get behind the radio you will need to remove the cover surrounding the radio, you may have to pull off the vent control knobs, there may be screws under there, look for a couple of screws on the vents, the rest of the panel can be pried off, there are clips holding it on, after that you can see the four bolts attching the radio, remove them and pull the radio out to get to the wiring.
