So I ordered a new headunit and the modifry DCI to upgrade my stereo. I wanted to work on this stuff over the long weekend. The only tool I am missing is the pry tool to get the console out and remove the stock radio. I know I can use a flat head and put some tape on it but I am wondering if there is a local store that sells this stuff. I tried autozone and napa parts store, they only have a "pry bar" which might be handy for other reasons but not this...

alternatively, how hard is it to just use a philips head, I am worried i'll break something, the small plastic tabs are pretty fragile it seems.

Note: I found exactly what I need on amazon for a few bucks, but it won't ship in time for the weekend.

I'm not sure what you're prying. The radio door simply pulls off, albeit with a lot of force. It feels like you're going to break it, but trust me you wont.

Pull off the shift knob and arm rest. Open radio door and pull door towards shifter, straight out. Screws hold the stock radio. Happy tuning!

Just pull up on the arm rest portion of the center console.

no tool required.

Harbor Freight if you really feel the need to spend $$.

Butter knife, putty knife, anything with a wide flat blade will work if you're careful.

On the ap2s, I believe you have to remove the center console. Thats the part I am sure will come off easily with the substitutes recommended. I was worried about the modling around the radio itselt, seems like there are four clips around it. If I can't find a proper tool I am sure I'll try to do it anwayys.

Also I was trying to open the area under the passenger dash, so I can place the DCI from Modifry there, seems like that is the best place to put it. trying to go by directions here:

I do notice the pry tool is optional, but the guy did mention he cracked one of his pieces.

I used a butter knife. I don't think I damaged anything. Thanks for the tip. That did the track. TRIM is off.

Butter knife did the trick. Thanks for the tip. Trim panel is off.
