If it's standard DIN-sized (ie. normal shape, not integrated into the dash),
then there should be some holes on the left and right edges of the face.
Look in the original bundle of stuff that came with the car - often they'll
include the tool to poke in to release the locking pins. If not, your local
car parts/car audio shop should have them, or you can improvise with a
couple of bits of thick wire.
Poke them in at once (you'll probably hear a "click") and then the old one
can be pulled out freely. If there's any resistance then don't force it, you
probably haven't released them all properly.
Then take out the old cage by bending it inwards and pulling it out (doesn't
matter if you destroy it in the process), then follow the fitting
instructions that came with the Sony.

Simon
