Ok So I searched the forums on how to install the radio, this is actually my first car and anything I've ever done on a car. So I'm pretty paranoid..

Anyways I have the front panel and 4 out of the 5 connectors removed, the Heat control cable is still connected and I CANT seem to budge it at ALL. Here are some pictures
Its a 2006 Mustang, basic factory panels, the floor panel is off, side wings off, the instrument main console panel is almost off - but this connector is keeping it attached. Am I doing anything wrong? Or is it just brute force and I just yank it..

Edit: oh crap..I think I dont' even have to take this off, I took a bad PDF that told me to take "it all" off...well if anyone finds a solution you can post it..Gonna go back and try to remove just the plastic panel...**** lol..

 

slip gray thingie up

 

Haha, that's so funny!!! Just be sure you push the grey thingy all the way back down after you reinstall it...

 

yep, it's a lever deal. The lever locks the harness in position.

 

Their should be a tiny push in piece right in front of the lever. push it in, then it will allow you to pull the lever back..thus removing it.

I replaced my radio the weekend I bought the car and I had a b*tch of a time getting that little gray thingie to move. It was a total PITA. I was finally able to get it to move by using a really long, flat screwdriver prying from the driver side floor.
