I cannot figure out how to remove the center panel for the old piece or the new one 77251-TF0-G01ZA (Bernardi). I want to do a hardwire bypass on my Avic F90BT but cannot get the center panel surrounding it to come off and I don't want to break anything.

I see the Navi insert has like 13 "snap clips" can you just yank these outwards when removing the old insert? I think I have to remove the Center Lower Cover and unscrew a single screw or something...

 

Here is the link from another post to remove the HU cover: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-generation-ge-08-present/37076-ge8-infinity-basslink-install.html
