HELP! Radio Removal HELP!
Hello everyone, i just received my Grom in the mail a few hours ago and went cracking on removing all the panels and such in my rx8.
Ive been using this guide to help me along removing panels.

the last step shows a yellow circled bolt that i need to remove to take the radio out. shown below

Upon contorting my body to see under there i notice the 2 bolts next to each other than the guide said to IGNORE and i look up to find a hole. I found it odd that there was just a hole there with no bolt. I did buy my car used so maybe the radio was removed before, but i just want some confirmation that this is indeed the bolt that i should have had to remove if it was there.

When i went to pull the radio, i gently gave it some tug and it seemed like only the bottom half moved. I dont want to do any damage by giving it a schwarzenegger pull.

Once I removed that bolt, I never reinstalled it. There was a member who left his out and was claiming that his headunit was shaking too much and causing his CDs to skip.... but I call shenanigans on that. I've since reinstalled my factory radio and it's be perfectly fine.
Of course... I generally don't listen to CDs anymore. Wait. What's a CD? What was I talking about again?
