Just pull the bezel its easy. One thing I found out is if you do this the risk of the SRS light to come on is possible. This happens when changing the gauges or anything that has to do with taking this piece off. Don't worry nothing is wrong its just something that happens.
What worked for me is that i kept my door closed when i took it out and then steped out of the car. Unfortunatly i was in a hurry and opened my door while i was installing it (back and forth) and then i turned on. Just take the lightbulb out and its gone. Also for the 1st gen turning the key 5-10 times does the trick....sometimes

Just turn the key enough to get the radio going. Then lisen for it.
