Easy. Well relativly anyway.
1st: pull the trim piece off the console that surounds the shifter. be careful not to break it, but it doesn't require tools to do so.
2nd: remove two screws in the bottom of the main wood trim piece.
3rd: remove two upper screws by the climate controls.
4th: remove 4 screws holding stereo in.
5th: Now I've heard of people pulling their entire dash apart to remove the actual stereo from the dash. I didn't want to, so I turned the car on, shifted it back to 1st, put on the park break and turned off the car. There! You can remove the stereo without any more screws being pulled! It's wonderful!
6th: to start car, just return gear shift lever to neutral or park. :)
