Default About to send my '99 GS 300 stereo head unit out for a mod. How do I remove it?

I found this YouTube tutorial which looks pretty straightforward:



...but I'm a complete noob so I want to make sure I'm not missing anything. Will my car alarm start blaring when I remove it? Do I need to unhook the battery first?

Thanks

That is pretty spot on. You will need a 10mm socket to remove the radio.

So I just tried doing this and everything was straightforward except for one thing...on the bottom of the stereo where the two screws are, there is an additional piece holding the stereo in place that I can't seem to remove. I was only able to get a blurry photo but it is the black round thing. I tried pulling it and twisting it out with no luck.

Anyone know how I can remove that?

EDIT: Nevermind, I managed to get it out by grabbing with pliers and pulling really hard lol
