Help removing Business CD cover

I am in the middle of a custom install. It is an unusal install as I am placing aftermarket monitors in front of the Business CD player. I would like to hide the wires running from the monitors. I was thinking that if I can remove the cover from the CD player then I could route the wires into the dash. Note that I can't remove the player as I still need it for the factory system.

I tried to remove the cover but it appears that electronics are attached to it. Does anyone know if that is correct? Any suggestions on how to remove this cover?

I got it off. There are two screws that hold it in place and then it just snaps off but you have to be very careful. There is a 4 pin connector on the cover for the buttons: eject, tone. The radio still works with the cover off. I will not be using the CD player for my custom install so I don't need to access it. However I need the CD player to stay there because it is required for the amp to turn on.

Well anyway, it worked out great for my custom install. I was able to run the wire through the openings on each side of the CD player totally out of sight.

Well I thought I took pictures of the radio with the cover off, but I found nothing in the digital camera. The radio is now covered with Monitors so I can't get a quick pic. However, I need to adjust one of the monitors, maybe I can get some pictures of it when I do. It'll have to wait until tomorrow or Friday as I am getting the X detailed tomorrow so I don't want to disassemble the dash right now.

Here are some pics of the cover.
