Using a plastic tool to avoid damaging the body, pry on the air vent and woodgrain dashboard to lift it. Remove the radio control panel, being careful of the connected wires. Take off the plastic frame around the radio console and unscrew the securing screws, then reposition the control panel. Place a protective cover on the tunnel to prevent damage during radio removal. Remove the car radio and disconnect the connectors related to the electrical wiring modification.
