Pull on the trim that surrounds the radio. At the very top you will have one or two connectors connected, one/two, too ASR or Foglight button, depending which you have or if you have both. So take off the trim, becarfull not to yank the top part of the trim before disconnecting the connection/s. And that it. To put it back, connect the wires to the Asr or Foglight and push trim back in making sure the pins are lined up to the holes.

Hes actually talking about taking out the bezel for the camaro.

For us, we dont need to worry about any wiring. The bezel pulls straight out from the dash. Personally I start prying my way from the top right using a flathead screwdriver and work my way clockwise pulling it out straight. I stick it in between the bezel and the radio. Once you get that off theres two bolts youll need to unscrew that hold the radio into the dash itself. Voila!

Sorry, I'm late in responding.

Check out this thread from a while back:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/wiring-stereo-electronics/351228-how-remove-bezel-front-radio.html

I posted a video there as well.

After you pull off the bezel, there are 3 screws holding the headunit in place.
