    If its anything like my '05, its just a few tabs holding on the dash cover, 4 screws holding in the radio, and electrical/antenna connectors. Easy to do. Hayne's manual really helped when I installed my radio.

    You might have to get an adapter for the radio or just splice and solder the wires, but yeah basically.

    and you can disconnect the adaptor? Does it plug in and turn the connectors around or something? Like this?

    Nope, I got an aftermarket adapter that fit the factory plug that went into the factory radio. Just had to get some wire clamps and connect the wires from the adapter to those of the aftermarket head unit harness.
