Okay so i bought the double din kit from srcstc that looks awesome (great deal) but i cannot for the life of my figure out how to pry the climate control out with the credit card. Please by all means help me. I need to get this original stereo out. Any and all help would be more than appreciated, especially pictures. Thank you in advance.

Anyone? I have gotten some advice from a couple people but im scared to just rip this unit out. I have gotten the bottom of the bezel to budge but im am still convinced that that doesnt mean i have compressed the clips enough for the unit to be removed.

Well I know in my car it required allot of force becuase of all the stuff that my damn sister split in the car. But with a '10 I doubt you have those issues. I'm not sure if the '10 system is similar to my '06 but there's a lip on the top that sits under the trim above. So when you pry it from the side push the unit down if you can get the leverage. Be careful though....when you push it down and it pops out the unit will pop out really easily so make sure your balanced on something. The unit was meant to be pryed out so don't be afraid to give it alittle force. If your card is bending, try a thin butter knife with a cloth wrapped around it. Good luck man.
