I just received an iPod interface cable that connects to the back of the RX8 stereo head unit. I am not experienced in stereo installation/removal and would like to gather advice on how to go about removal of the head unit. Once removed, the cable will easily connect - allowing prompt reinstallation.

Any recommendations?

While I won't hack the head unit, as suggested, this site can guide me through the removal and reinstallation.
