What’s up everyone. I’m going to be installing a remote starter this weekend and need to remove the dash panel circle below. Has anyone removed this one before or have a schematic of screws that may be holding it in place, it’s the left lower panel where the little change drawer thing is. Also the steering wheel clam shell bottom half. There’s a few harness in there I need to access. Figured I’d ask before pulling and breaking something silly. Thanks

Yeah, I’ve had that off. I have the schematics on here somewhere. I’ll come back by and link them.

This isn’t exactly what I was looking for. I had put up the fsm off for the dash at some point when @SharpeCat was looking at 3d printing a switch plate to replace the cubby. I never found that thread.
To add beta here, take off the black piece with the Obdii and tpms reset. Take off the end cap next to the door.
The the mirror switch area pops out as one piece
There are two bolts at the bottom left and right that allow the bottom piece with the airbag to move
Then you can pop the cubby out

Ok so the price I need to get out is what you popped out that the cubby sits in, the lower plastic dash piece that runs under the steering where, there’s the black piece underneath the the tan piece. Does that tan piece just pull out? Any hidden screws that you remember? The wire hardness I need is right behind that.
The tan piece has two bolts, one left and one right . I think one bolt is under a flip up thing.
I used this video and it explains the panel removal very well.

Thank you, got the panel off and it was even easier then this video, got the remote starter in less then a half hour in the cold. Not bad at all: if anyone is looking for a remote starter 12voltsolutions makes a great product, couldn’t be easier
