I am doing a stereo install. If anyone else is thinking of this. If your needing more than a couple of extra stereo speaker wires. The dash cap will need to be taken apart to install any add on with a plug to the back of the radio. So here are the steps to pull the dash cap off.
Here is the starting point. This pic shows the tools I am using. You will need a T20 torex screw driver. A small skinny screw driver. A 4" regular blade screw driver which is not shown in the pic. It was laying on the floor. The long piece of plastic is a windshield removal/ install tool I have. I preferred it over the screw drivers as much as possible.
This pic shows the A pillar trim and where to pry on it. The 4" screw driver works best here. After it is removed.
Lift up the outside of the speaker grille. It should pop loose. If it seems stuck look down the right side. You can see two plastic clips. Push in on the closest one it will release. Then move to the one closest to the windshield.
Now that brings you to this pic.
Lift upward at the red arrow in the pic. That will pop up the air bag cover. Pull towards the windshield. That will remove it from its front mounts.
Then that brings us to the next pic. All comments will be below the pictures now.
In this pic. First thing it to pop the air bag cover off. It is mounted with 4 snaps. Pulling the bottom snap works best. Doing it from the top puts a lot of pressure on the bottom tabs. After the door is loose. Just let it hang where it wants to. Remove the screws marked in red. Remove the metal cross brace above the front two crews holds down.
With the limits on uploaded pic's. I need to start another post. Please do not post till I have the thread finished.
