Okay, how do I remove the center part of the dash - the black plastic pieces surrounding the radio/AC/cupholder? I'm trying to run wiring from the radio down.

Thanks again!

Jay did you get the radio installed? If not how about cutting the dash with a chainsaw.

Start by taking out the ash tray on the right and the lower switches on the left. This gives you access to the screws holding in the drink holder. Then pop loose the clock and coin tray using a thin piece of metal or plastic; two more screws. After that, pop off the trim piece under the radio opening; last two screws. Hopefully that helps--I went from memory. If nothing else, this will get you started...DougC

Be careful you don't miss the two vertical screws above the radio-if the flange isn't broken. You'll need an offset screwdriver.

I'd go the opposite way and push a straighted out metal hanger from where you want to wires to end up, up thru to the radio opening. Once you get it thru, just attach the wire to the end and pull it back thru. This way you don't have to pull any of the dash apart...thats what I did....
