    Where can I find instructions how to remove the center pillar thats under the dash? I would like to wire an audio cable under the carpet to the center console. Image%20(1).jpeg

    Youtube has many videos for swapping out the MFD display. I looked at plenty of those before I did it the first time. (and second, and third, on different cars, lol) That could at least be a good starting point. I'd imagine they have many more for radio removal, etc.

    The thing is with those radio removals they don’t go anywhere near the lower dash. It only shows how to remove the top portion.

    Hey Berch1943…

    I’m trying to do this same thing. You ever figure out a good solution?
