That's a double DIN front with a single DIN receiver box. Takes about 3 minutes to remove the 4 screws and pull it out. No mess, no fuss and very easy. You will find that your AM "antenna" is either not connected, rolled up or non existent I figure. If there isn't one there just slide it back in the hole, go get what you want, come back, pull it out and connect your new antenna.

The front of the receiver is divided into upper and lower halves. Just grip the lower half cover on the ends and pull it off. You will find 4 square drive Roberston screws - 2 on each end. Remove those and pull it out. Reverse the process (after the antenna is fixed) to reinstall......3 minutes.....maybe.
