The following is how to remove the factory receiver and install a PAC Audio AOEM-MAZ2 which gives you 2 sets of RCA outputs to connect amplified speakers or whatever you desire.
Time required: 20-30 minutes
Tools required:
1x small flat head screwdriver
1x #2 Phillips head screwdriver

Step 1: Gently pry with a small flat blade screwdriver along the edge indicated by the arrows in the first picture. It will pop out and pull the vents toward you and move out of the way.

*Note* The red circles are where the vent unit connects to the dash this is where it will release from.
Step 2: See above image, remove the two screws indicated by the blue circles, and the whole receiver will slide towards you until you run out of slack from the wiring harnesses. In my car it was barely enough to get my hands in there.

Step 3: Remove said wiring harnesses and remove receiver completely. Now would be a perfect time to curse at them. The green circle is the harness that will connect to the brown female harness on the AOEM-MAZ2. The two brown circles connect back to the factory receiver.

Step 4: Picture above shows the two ends on the AOEM-MAZ2, purple being the harness that will go into the factory receiver, green being the one that connects to the car harness.

Step 5: *Optional* As I wasn't wiring the rest of the system for sound today, I snaked a wire down to pull up a dummy set of RCA's to be installed at a later date. I recommend it though.

RCA's ran through dash.

Step 6: Position AOEM-MAZ2 however you like, the little space behind the bracket worked quite well to hold it snugly in place. Run the other RCA output and remote wire turn on to the right and tuck out of the way unless you are utilizing them immediately.
Step 7: Reverse steps 1-3 and reassemble. Prior to reassembly I recommend plugging it all in and testing before finalizing the install.
