This is that video:
Is that a 2017 Camaro in for a new stereo, why yes it is!! Installer Diaries 56. They don't show you very clearly how to pull off the A-pillar trim, though.
Here's another video that shows this, but with a big caveat:
How to Install speakers, take apart interior, amp kit in 6th gen Camaro with OEM radio. The caveat: DO NOT CUT THE BUNGEE CORDS LIKE HE DOES!!! That bungee is there to keep the trim piece from becoming a projectile if your air bag goes off. For obvious reasons, that is important.
There's a clip to pry open so you can slip the bungee connection off and remove the A-pillar trim piece completely. The Five Start video sort of discusses it, but you can't really see what they're showing you very well. This is a picture of the clip:
The open end is facing down the pillar toward the dash, and you need to pry it open a bit and then slide the clip up toward the roof. It takes some muscle.
This video shows pretty well how the trim piece is popped off its clips, though. My advice here is to be really careful not to pull them too far off when they break loose, or else you'll pull apart the little microphone in the pillar that you need for voice commands and hands-free calls. Ask my how I know. Luckily, they are cheap to replace.
This video also gives a good sense of the one tough screw on the driver's side tweeter. It's the one closest to the windshield. But honestly, you just need a 7mm combination wrench and some patience. You just turn it 1/8-1/4 turn at a time, and in a minute or two you'll have it out. This is not one of the harder fasteners I've ever had to deal with. The other screw on this tweeter and the two on the passenger tweeter are not hard. A 1/4"-drive ratchet and shallow 7mm socket work fine.
