    All Hondas are a little tricky. I need to know what your dash looks like. Then I can tell you the location of those screws and what it takes to get to them. The screws are on the lower back of the radio or there is one on each side of the radio. I need to see the dash.

    If you can wait till I'm at My Shop tomorrow, I can E-Mail you directions.

    I got very busy today and was not able to copy the directions. If you can post a pic of the dash I can tell you how to get the radio out. If you do not have a removable panel under the radio, then the two screws are one on each side. If this is the case, much of the dash needs to be disasenbled to get to the mounting screws. Its not difficult but you need to take your time. Do Not Tear Up Your Car. All you need is a philips and 8mm wrench to dissassemble the dash. Nothing else.

    I will get those directions.

    FINALLY THE DIRECTIONS

    If there is a screw missing, its not my fault
    1. Remove 2 phillips screwsfrom the bottom edge of the glove box door and remove the door.
    2. Remove 3 screws (philips) from the panel under the steering column. Remove the panel by pulling straight down.
    3. The screws holding the panel under the climate controls are now exposed. Four screws hold this panel on. Two on each side. (pillips)
    4. Finally remove 2 8mm hex-head screws securing the bottom rear of the factory head unit.
    5. The radio pushes straight out through the front.

    Told you it was not hard. Just a lot of stuff. The number of screws you need to remove is correct.
    Take your time, it aint rocket science.
