    I got a bluetooth adapter for my non-JBL, non-XM radio. So far I have been unable to figure out how to start going about taking the dashboard apart to get at the back of the radio. I thought it woul dbe easy to find a post here about it but didn't have any luck with a search.

    I don't need step by step instructions. Just how to start without damaging the dash and any tips for any other potential tricky spots.

    Thanks

    There is a great set of instructions in the audio and electronics forums, I also have a hard time searching for anything easily, but I printed it out, try the name "2010 Toyota Prius model II Head Unit Upgrade" which I printed out from the link. It is real easy to do, no tools needed. Just pull straight out the panel around the shifter and then up around the radio on right, then left side and around the power button. Voila, there is the radio with 4 ten mm bolts to release.
