Well, I had quite the struggle yesterday getting my old OEM head unit out of my 2017 WRX. I got the top bolts and passenger bolt out without much fuss but that driver's side bolt in the footwell would not come loose. I even moved the leg airbag out of the way and that sucker would not come off. I am embarrassed to say that I ended up yanking the head unit out far enough to get my Dremel in there and cut off the metal bracket. Felt extremely unnecessary for such a simple job. I used my shop vac to blow out all that was behind the dash that got metal bits all over. I used an extension and a hammer to bend the sharp metal that was left as far as I could. The previous owner had a subwoofer installed at one point and had the head unit out to do the wiring. I believe when they put it back together that they severely overtighten the bolts (especially driver's one). I had my impact gun and breaker bars with a long extension and all I was able to do was bend the metal bracket. Somehow I did not strip the bolt. Anyways all cleaned up and installed now. I just need to get Android Auto to work more reliably.
