the trim all over the car is pretty much snapped in place, thats how u see a lot of people w/ modded aleros or just modded looks have different trim colors. Start by pulling from the top of the radio and it snaps off. It helps to first put the car in emergency brake and then put the car in first gear so that the trim around the shifter will come up easy thus making it easier to get the trim around the radio out. there are 6 wires (groups) that snap into the plastic trim piece and can be removed, although not necessary to replace the radio. About 3 months ago i replaced the factory stereo with a better stereo that has RCA jacks so I can hook my subs into the stereo instead of splicing them into the back speakers. Email me at
