Removing the radio cage/frame

Hi,

I have a 2003 X5 with a Mid radio. Does anyone know how to remove the plastic cage that holds the Mid radio so that I can instal an aftermarket radio like a double din pioneer unit.

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the advice and the picture, isn't there anyway of taking it out so that if I want to put back my MID I can?
