    Apologies as I'm sure this has been covered more than once, but I wasn't able to find it... I'm looking for a 'How to' to remove some of the interior trim, specifically:

    (1) The trim around the head unit;

    (2) the left-side auxillary switch pod
    [​IMG]; and

    (3) the center switch bank

    Too much.
    1: pulls right off.
    2:. Pulls right off.
    3: on your own, no idea.

    Thanks... by "Pulls right off" do you mean they're a friction fit, no little clips or no catches that need to be pushed out of the way?

    Clips. For the bezel around the head unit, you can just pull firmly straight out.

    For the little cubby section, you'll need a trim tool of some sort to wedge under and pop off. Those are red clips as well

    If you wanna go all the way, take the screws off under the steering wheel. Remove the bottom cover, then evenly pull on the entire right side of the lower panel. That way you can just get behind it.

    Look up the Caliraised Cubby Pocket how to video or the N2 Design Remote Starter video. They both walk you through both methods.

    Haha. My friend would always ask me about gun stuff. I'd give him a hard time about not Google-ing it first. He kept doing it. Took months before I broke him and he started looking into it himself.
