Turn the two side vents right next to the radio to its farthest left or right position. There are two Philips screws hidden and need to be removed. Once out, pry out the panel and disconnect all the harnesses. Then you can remove the radio.

Luc, Thanks a lot. It helped, but I have another question-
After hitting a bit pot hole which blew one of the front tires, the radio went completely silent. On the LCD, it turns on, changes station, and everything looks normal, but I don't hear any sound.
I removed the radio and checked the cable connections in the back, but they look fine. Even before this problem, I used have some crackling noise from front speakers when the road is rough, so I suspected a problematic speaker connection. From the fact that none of the speakers work now, is there any particular place I should look into? Thanks again. - Phil

Typically, all OEM amp'ed system has factory amp turning the OEM radio on, so there is power to the amp. It's possible that big pothole may have caused something in the OEM amp to fail, or perhaps caused one of the speaker wires to touch metal, temporarily disabling the amplification section. If the Sequoia is still under warranty, take it to the dealer and have them fix it, though it can be a hassle, instead of taking the sledgehammer out.

one of my co-workers has blown his passenger front speaker...has anyone had to replace a blown speaker...if so did you replace the jbl speaker that was already in there or did you find another speaker that worked just as well...if so what brand was it?
