    I've ordered everything I need to install a 32" LED bar and I would like to install the button in the center dash below the climate controls.

    Before I go prying on things, does anyone have instructions on how to gain access to that panel? My drivers side button is a blank and I will be using that space. Thanks

    There is a post about removing that trim somewhere, can't remember what it was called but they replaced that trim piece with one that had extra buttons. But from what I remember I believe it was a utter pain in the ass to pull that trim off. You are better off knocking out that blank cover and fishing the wires through while leaving the trim alone.

    Found it.

    Should pop out but it comes out much easier when accessed from behind. You might want to think about using the blank on the left of the steering wheel
