Default Removing CD Changer

I am trying to do a trunk install for the Denison 500, and decided that I can sacrifice the CD player in favor of an easy install. I got the plastic molding off, but can't seem to figure out how to remove the unit. Any help?

There are a few nuts holding the CD changer in place. You'd have to remove the nav unit housing as well as the CD changer housing to get to those nuts. I managed to get mine out. You'd also need to order the larger floor mat for cars without CD changers. I got this for about $68 from Sunset Porsche.

It is an open 10 mm wrench job, and not easy to get to without removing the Nav. The metal clip holding the top of the Nav unit has to be pulled straight up with a bit of force on one side, then the other. Be careful not to bend any of the MOST fiber optic cables.
