Replacing stock stereo in a 2003 Corolla (with pics)??
Question: My stereo is mounted in the dash like so:

I want to switch it out to something else, and I've found stereo's at crutchfield.com that will fit (almost anything will fit since the stock stereo is so huge), but I cannot find a walkthrough on how to get the dash assembly removed.
I'm interested in hearing from anyone who owns a 2003 (or similar dash) Corolla who has done this.
Thanks
Answers: The plastic cover around the shifter just pops of if you grab the lower part of it and lift up. Then remove the center ac knob and remove the screw behind it. Then you can pry the whole center part out starting from the bottom again and pulling outward. remove the plugs from all the switches and the clock and then there are 4 ten mm screws that hold in the radio and the two ac vents. remove them and pull the radio out. That's it!
Crutchfield is a good place to go if your a do it your self. They will include instructions on how to remove part of the dash. If you have a best buy or circuit city, they usually have a free install with purchase of a deck special.
if you go to a shop where the sell and in stall radio system they will probably be more than happy to help you out show you what you need and how to do it
