You can't pull the dash out til you've got the head unit out :P

Put all the dash back together and while you're doing that I'll look for pics of a Civic dash so I can remember what to do.

Does it look like this one? --> http://www.pcmofo.com/pictures/482.jpg

Get a screwdriver or something lever-like behind that dash piece that goes round the stereo and see if it'll pry out.

If that doesn't work it's probably got some screws up through the back of the radio. Pull out the glovebox and see if there are any there.

According to this site:
http://www.carstereoremoval.com/htm/stereoremovalHondaCivic03_05P.htm

which i just paid 10$ for.

You have to go thru the center console where the gear stick is. Lift all that up, then unscrew the cig lighter part then go up thru there and undo some screws that are holding in the center part where the head unit is.

That rings a bell...

I haven't done one of those model Civics, but yeah that is the way late model Hondas come apart.

It's really hard to remember how to pull them apart when all you've got to play with is a picture on the net.

If they're anything like late model accords there should be a couple of screws up through the back of a bracket, and then the pocket and head unit will slide out as one.

You might need a fascia for that dash so you don't have gaping holes either side of the head unit.

Check out www.aerpro.com.au ;)

Nope. I figured it out. You have to start with the center console. Completly remove it over the gear stick. then remove the cig lighter and then the center dash can be "popped" out once some screws have been removed. I will put a pic up soon.
