    Im trying to get the front panel off of the console to remove my radio, I havnt done this before, and all I can find online is to remove the bezel from the ignition... but then Im not sure about actually getting the panel off. Do I just pry it off? Where do I pry from? I dont wanna force it too much in fear of hearing something snap .

    I figured, pretty simple question, but better safe than sorry.

    Also, sorry if this question was already asked, but I cant find it myself.

    if its a 97-03 you just put the steering wheel down all the way, yank on top of where the gauge til it comes loose get the rest loose. Unplug the fog light switch and your done.

    Oh, Im sorry... I was thinking more about the actual problem than the question itself. It's a 2008 but I actually found my crutchfield master sheet that I got a long time ago, and problem solved.

    For the record and future, fellow idiots searching... yes it just pops right off.

    Remove the bezel from the keyring, then use a screw driver or other small, flat prying device to *gently* apply force until each little clip pops out. The one that's clipped right next to the keyring was the hardest for me to remove.

    The whole thing just flips up and if you dont wanna disconnect the DIC, just flip it up on top of the dash, out of the way.

    Thanks, lol. I will be doing some work on my 04' interior soon and would have asked this same question, lol.

    Which one did you pop off first to get the bezel started? The top?
