i have a 1997 toyota camry and it came with a cassette radio, i want to change it but have no idea how to take the current one out. does anyone know how?

There are "stickeys" threads at the top of the forum (start with Important) that are full of good info. This is from the "Factory Manuals" thread:http://tril.shineautoproject.com/camry/99/Body.pdf Step 11.

It appears you just pry the bezel (plastic surround) off then undo the bolts and connector.

Please try deleting your first thread.

download the pdf file from http://www.installdr.com/InstallDocs/Toyota/Camry.html, very detailed instruction. There is no 1997 model listed, but it will help a lot.
