I just bought a '96 aspire and I was wanting to put a new cd player in it. I can not figure out how to take the console apart without tearing something up. Can anyone give me some advice or point me into the direction of a good diagram? Thanks.

I did this to mine not long ago, if you look at the radio there should be 4 small square whole near each corner of the face. You need to take something small and move it around inside of the whole, I can't remember what the trigger is inside of it, but you should hear a click if you play around inside of it. I used a small allen wrench, but a hair pin should also work. Once you have done this to all 4 sides the system should just slide right out.

I think maybe I just pushed the wrentch into the whole until I heard the click.... but I can not remember for sure.

Thanks man, I will check it out.
