    How do you remove this panel? I'm going to make my power port full time power. Thanks

    For me, I had to remove the center console, glove box, and driver side lower plastic. All of that was needed to get to the screws.

    Wow . Ok I thought maybe just the switch panel just pulls out. But if it takes all that I'll have to wait till the weekend to do it. Thanks .

    Dose anyone know what this is for. There is wires and some kind of black connector right behind it. Looks like a speaker or warning buzzer . Thanks.

    Well ok I know it's not for air when there are wires right behind it. As far as the key fob I had mine die once and you have to put it directly in front of the push button to make it start. So not thinking it's for that .
