Help w/ Radio Trim

[captret]

Can someone please explain how to remove this section of radio trim? I know there is a lot of videos on how to accomplish this...but my trim is different. I don't want to damage anything.

Does the whole center console have to be removed first in this case?

Thanks in advance!!! John

You need a long skinny screwdriver to release the bottom tabs. Get low add look at how the tabs operate. Not easy the first time,

Thanks "KWX1"

Can you elaborate further on how to insert the screwdriver??

What was the final solution for your radio removal?
Mine is exactly like yours and I'm trying to add a rear camera to the already existing CIC NAV Pro system.

CIC factory NAV rear camera android 10 upgrade


have the same issue 2 radio screws r behind lower fashia plate for android install wiring harness, metal double din brick in radio hole is not room in there.

console has it trapped


remove 6 console fasteners 2 tens front each side 1 ten nut under brake cover 1 screw right side cover beside right seat 2 more in very back console cover lift panel up it has hooks on it

lift console up gently and back 1/2'

put plastic pry tool in radio coverlate on bottom has 2 lower tabs that snap in be gentle then it will pop out carefully

I found this youtube video that shows the center console being removed, giving you that extra bit of room you need to slide the screwdriver in. You'll need to pause as the video is quite fast.
