Canada How to install a deck for 91' camry

Hey guys, I have a 1991 Camry and im planning on putting in a aftermarket deck myself. Its my first time and i have no clue what i need and how to do it. The deck comes with its own wire harness and i think i have to buy another wire harness for the 91' Camry itself.. The other problem is that i have no clue how to take out the deck since there are no screws or anything .

Its my first car

Congrats on the car.

There are numerous writeups on here and elsewhere on the web that show what you need to do to install a new deck in your car. It should be very easy (compared to many other things on a car, at least).

Basics:
Pull the trim
Unscrew the radio
Unplug the radio
Buy wiring harness, solder connections, plug in new radio
Put brackets on radio from stock radio
Screw it back in place
Put trim back on
Drink beer (if over 21)

Remove ashtray
Pull the trim on an angle towards you, be firm but not the Hulk.
Disconnect connector for cig lighter then continue to remove trim.
Drill out pop rivets (if there are any; there were on mine)

Unscrew the radio
Unplug the radio
Buy wiring harness, solder connections, plug in new radio. You might also be able to get a *insert headunit brand* rear connector to an 'ISO', then ISO to toyota factory.
Put brackets on radio from stock radio
Screw it back in place
Put trim back on
Drink beer again (if over 21)

More details xD

So i just simply pull the black trim off? And for the wiring, im trying to avoid soldering wires so if i can find factory connectors(a wire harness) i don't have to solder wires? If that is what you mean by "ISO" xD

By the way the drinking age in Canada is 19

Yeah, it's held in by these metal clips on the back. Start from the bottom, you can get a hold of it where you removed the ashtray. Yes again, there is a way to avoid soldering; i'm bad at explaining things so it sounds more complicated than it really is. But instead of just buying one harness (Toyota factory to 'open wire ends' or the manufacturer's universal plug type). Get the one that's Toyota to universal/ISO. Then they should also sell the brand's rear connector to their ISO/universal connector.

19? Really? I thought it was 18; the same drinking age in Australia. I guess it differs from province to province? I was in Alberta when i was told that.
