Removing the factory headunit in a 7th Gen Honda Civic

First thing you need to do is remove the piece of the dash that has the lighter plug and pocket. It is held in using only clips. A good way to remove it us to insert your fingers of your right hand into the pocket palm up and stick your thumb in the lighter plug. Grip and it should pull straight out, it takes a bit of force.
Get down low and you will see two screws towards the right side of the opening. Remove these so you can pull out the part of the dash that houses the radio and AC controls.
To remove this part of the dash, it is best to reach up inside the dash and find something to push this part out enough that you can get your fingers under it. It takes some force to push this out; it is connected with 5 clips. Once it is out, remove all the plugs, and remove the 3 screws that hold the climate controls in. Now you can remove the stock head unit and install your new one.
