    I am a little stumped as to how to access behind the center row of switches (where the wireless charging switch is). I am trying to install my light bar switch and want to route the cables, but its proving a bit tricky to pull the trim apart.

    how much do I need to pull off to get access back there?

    Never mind! found a post in 2nd gen that gave me the idea to fish the wires through. worked like a charm......although if someone has a good idea on easy ways to tap into power for the switch's accent light, that would be appreciated!

    Here is the post. it only helped in the sense that someone mentioned to just fish a line through. I took the blank out, and gently pushed a coat hanger though, reached up and grabbed it under the glove box. Of course, that only helped get the wires to the blank without having to remove anything. now I am left with the fact that I still need access to the wires in the dash so I can tap into power. I am wondering if I can tap into the power of the wireless charging switch?
