Removal of Radio/Infotainment Unit

Can some one tell me how one removes the radio/infotainment unit? Do you have to get up under the dash to remove it? Looking at the 3rd pic down here http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4242 I can't see how you could unmount it from the front but I have no idea how these things are installed.

Cheers

i don't think there were radios in the cars there. or they reassembled the dash and left the radio out for whatever reason.

it looks like you pop off the part of the dash around the radio, you can see the split in the CF cover piece.
from there you can unscrew the brackets shown and then take it out, easy.

it looks like it will be using the same harness Scion has been using.
the same radios that have been seen in the FR-S are the same radios offered in the xB, xD, tC and iQ.
the Bespoke HU is even physically identical to the premium radio scion already offers, only without the Bespoke software.

They do source a lot of the switches and electricals from Nissan, so it's not unheard of.
