Sure Proof Way To Remove Radio Trim
Removing 2k7 Mazda Radio trim.
CAUTION:
Some people will tell you to try to remove the radio by inserting something flat on the sides or near the top try to stay clear from these directions as your risk of damage increase dramatically. This is a very simple and flawless step
You can use a N L S shape flat head screwdriver
Or you can you this is a snap ring plier ( Just make sure you turn it upside down) This is the method I used
First Untwist your shift knob counter clockwise
Directly dead center underneath you will see a small Service Port opening insert your tool here. For the snap ring spread it the same width as the opening and make sure it gets inserted inside the slot if not you will have a nasty scratch. Then just pull straight out. .

That worked great - thanks!
New to the forum, but I'm (right now) taking off the center console / hu module so as to install an Audiolink. Int3grity instructions were spot on, and I should have listened soon... I slightly marred up the side nice & fake "aluminum" trim trying to use the pry method first!
The only thing I'd add is to clarify the location - definitely need to remove the shift knob first, then look for the slight groove (about the width of a screwdriver tip) at the bottom of the center console plate. This is directly above the forward-most storage area from the shifter, where the silver bezel trim ends.
I used the S-shaped screwdriver which worked great - insert it which will slightly pop the bottom section up, then get some exercise and pull hard!
