there is a trim panel that must be removed.if you look at the trim panel around the radio you will see what is all part of the panel to be removed to gain access to the radio.some times once you have removed the screws you have to pull out the trim panel as it will be held in by push in clips and sometimes it takes a strong pull just be careful so you don`t break the trim.once the trim is off there should be 4 small bolts that hold the radio in the dash.sometimes you may have to disconnect wire plugs to completely remove the trim panel.

Remove the trim around the shifter, then remove the center console. You will then have access to the screws holding the trim around the radio in. Once you are to that point, take the radio screws out and pull out the radio.
First remove the trim where the top vents are located above the radio there are no screws just pull. Next there are two 10 millimeter bolts that hold the top of the radio remove them. Next remove the ash tray or tray next to the cigarette lighter (under the radio and climate controlls). there will be a 7 millimeter or 9/32 screw through a hole (behind where you removed the ashtray) remove this screw then you will be able to remove the trim below the radio and climate controlls. Next remove the 10 millimeter bolts on the bottom of the radio cluster, you will now be able to remove the radio and climate controll cluster. BE CAREFULL NOT TO SCRATCH YOUR DASH SHIFT LEVER OR RADIO CLUSTER. In most cases there is a 10 amp fuse on the back of the radio. Chances are it is not blown and you are on to the next step. Remove the cd player out of the cluster there will be a part# on it google it and there is a good chance you will find one available. Either way the are available you just have to find them you may have to search electronic parts houses to find what you need. Good luck!
remove ash tray one screw behind there, then remove top dash panel that
goes from end to end across dash this just snaps off pull upward to
remove you will see 2 screws on top of trim around radio remove these 2
and then dash trim will pull off pull straight back then radio can be
removed should be held in by 2 10mm bolts, this should cover 80% of the
radios (important TIP) if it still doesn't come out the trick is some
of the wranglers have an extra security bar on stock cd players only
you will see 2 more 10mm bolt on the top of the dash where you removed
the 2 screws from earlier these hold a bracket that is mounted to the
back of the cd player once they are unbolted you can remove the radio
it takes some pulling and tweaking of the brackets but it will come out
