how to remove WRX radio?

[peter]

What do I have to do to remove the factory CD changer/radio in a 2002 WRX? Are there
screws holding the face plate?

Someone spilled coke into it and I need to take it out for cleaning.

Also, how do I remove the temperature control knob below the radio? Same problem.

The double din radio is surrounded by a plastic bezel which is only
held in by snaps. It may be easier to pull it out gently by removing
the cup holder (2 screws) and then pulling on that corner first. Be
very careful. Sometimes those snaps are tenacious and the bezel
plastic gets frail with age. You will then see 6 screws holding in
the changer. Once that is removed, you can access the temp controls
below it.

Good luck and again, be very careful removing the bezel--be very
patient with it.
