have you got the top compartment above radio? if you have remove the rubber mat there are 4 screws holding the compartment in , remove the compartment then you will see a screw holding the top of the radio section in,once removed pull the centre console towards you and it will unclip.remove wireing from switches etc and the radio is held in with 4 screws on a mount.be warned when changing the radio you will have to cut the dash and replace with a facia plate as console is moulded to radio shape
