You model dash is different from mine.
The air vents came out with my horseshoe. Also my cup holders were different from yours as well.
You have as much access as you can possibly get, you should be able to run your power wire to the fuse box with that access.

They changed the design from MY03, I believe.

The reason I want to remove the entire frame is that I want to do the cutting for the new radio cage out of the car, and also removing the factory radio support bracket (which in my car is U shaped and seems to be joined to the vent assembly with clips) will be easier.

Yes it is different on your 03.
Don't know if this helps or not.

I found a YouTube video of a installer on a 2003 996.
fast frog to 2:00 min mark of the video of the dash, they do not remove the horseshoe at all to install the double din..

Hope it helps..
