Audio Systems/my blazer's audio

Question
I currently have an Ipod that i would like to use with my 1998 s10 blazer. I will be removing my in- dash stereo and replacing it with another once I have the money to do so. As for now, i want to hook up my i-pod to my in-dash stereo using the auxillary input, which i believe is behind the in-dash stereo. This is where i have a problem.

There are no screws that i can find that will remove the grey plastic covering the stereo, so i don't know how to take that off. Also, now that I think about it, how will i be able to connect my ipod without having the stereo player completely exposed? Any suggestions would be helpful.Thanks

Here's a pic of what my stereo looks like exactly. go down to the second picture.

hi
the plastic around the radio comes out it is hold by clips only sometimes there is two screw by cluster but not all vehicles
half of the dash over the cluster and head lights switch
to remove it start there at the head light switch  i will send you the link i don't want to type all the instructions you can look at pics and get the idea   
VERY IMPORTANT MOST OF THE PEOPLE THAT TRY THIS THE FIRST TIME
THEY DAMAGE  THE HAZZARD SWITCH BE CAREFULL AND MOVE THE STERING DOWN HERE IS THE LINK

good luck
