How to take apart this...

Going to wire up my light bar and put the switch in this blank but how do I access it? Does that entire panel pop out?

 

Bottom panel first, then it will pop off but you will probably need some small plastic pry tools.

 

Yes, you can pop it out. Its held by plastic clips.

 

There are a couple bolts on lower kick panel that need to be removed before you try taking it off.

 

Thanks guys...easy to take that out. But now, how do you take the below apart? I tried using a pry tool but it wouldn’t budge and I didn’t want to break anything...

 

The seam at the top of that pic, if you put your pry tool in there and start working on it you'll be able to get it out enough to see where the clips are, then just apply pressure and it will pop off. Just did mine and removed the head unit to mount a ram mount on the dash. It takes more pressure than you think to get that one out

 

Yea, that's where I put my pry tool...maybe didn't give it enough force...thanks!

 

There are three ways to get at that one.

1) use your plastic pry tool at the top of it to pull it out. *I can never get this to work, so I use method 2 now. I used to use method 3 until I saw someone do 2 and it’s much easier

2) use your plastic pry tool at the top of the climate control section (between the radio) and pry the climate control area off, this is also connected to that bottom piece and will help pull it out.

3) this was the first method I learned from watching a YouTube video of a radio install. It’s the most work, but also I think has the least change of scratching things up....
Unscrew the gear shift knob. Open the center console arm rest. Using plastic pry tool near the center console, lift up and remove the entire plastic piece that connects to center console, has the cup holders and cover for gear shifter. Take that whole thing out. Now you can pull off that bottom piece you are interested in from the bottom of it.

 

Appreciate it...will definitely try #2...too much on #3 lol

 

#3 really isn’t that much work. And I think it’s the ‘safest’ way to go without scratching things up, so it’s definitely a good way to start with the first time.
