In the middle of radio/gauge swap!!
Im in the middle of the radio / gauge swap on my 2006 MR and ive got the ac knobs off... removed the two screws.... now it said to remove the face plate by pulling on the inside of the HVAC holes.BUT the write up said to remove the radio first... i didnt think this was posiable without removing the face plate... Im only asking this cuase it seems like the faceplate is really stuck on there, and i dont wanna break anything. HELP PLZ! TY - Travis

You can't take the stock radio off without taking the face plate off. Do some searching on the forum but after taking two screws off, you have to carefully pull off the face plate. It's kinda hard to pull it off for first time but you should be able to do it.
I have Evo VIII though.

it may be caught on the antenna wire... that's usually a shorter hookup line. Just follow the wires back from the radio with your hand and when you get to something move the wires. Also, if you put a towel between it and the dash, you can just let your radio hang by the wires... it's not going to hurt anything.
