What's needed to remove radio trim for XM install

I'm getting ready to transfer my Roady XT from my Liberty to my 07 F-150. I am going to order the PIE adapter instead of using the FM modulator. What am I going to need to remove the trim around the radio, and the piece on the upper dash. I know I need to remove the radio itself using the Ford tool or another method. But is there any special tools needed to remove all of the trim pieces???

Just pry the piece (wood on lariat, carbon fiber in other models) that surrounds the radio and climate controls. It pulls out.

FYI, I have a perfectly good PIE adapter that I used for my XM sitting around...

Is it the one that plugs into the factory changer port and is a power converter for the 5v power supply??

On the trucks without the console, open the drink holder and grasp the bottom edges of the plastic panel that covers the radio.
It will un-snap and then remove the scews that mount the radio.
