That plastic bracket in the back of the stereo cavity is basically useless... when I got my aftermarket stereo at Best Buy the guy there said to just break it, which sounds brutal, but he said they have to do it atleast twice a day. So once you have the stock stereo out reach in there with some wire snips or something similiar that will cut the plastic and cut it out, just watch what your doing.
Long story short, break that thing outta there, thats what I did... less than a month ago on mine.

I used a dremel and ground it off. It helps support the factory radio, but interferes with an aftermarket...that is...if you want flush mount. You can always buy the ugly stick out ones that don't require you to remove the bracket[:'(]

I cut mine off... no need to have it stick out. Real easy. Took 1 minute.
