YEah, I see one screw hole, but if you took out three, grab hold of the trim and pull towards the drivers seat. There will quite a bit of resistance, but it will come. Take it slow once the clips are released, it looks like you will have to disconnect the headlight switch. Infact, start with that side of the dash. Pop out the head light switch (push it from the back or use a flat screw driver on the bottom of it), disconnect the harnesses. You can now reach in the hole and pull it. Work your way to the right.


Wait, does the bezel around the radio and heater vents have a gap between the built up surface and the dash? The last picture looks like it. If this is the case, ignore everything else and ****** the trim off.

k i played with it and i looked and i have no solid blue wire. .. and im pretty sure thats what drained the battery.. i had it plugged in with the cig lighter but that alway stays on.. so i held it on there again and turned the car off and the amp stayed on. so thats what happened last night.. now can i just find another wire that will turn off with the car and splice it into that one.. i tried a bunch on the radio and it wouldnt turn on. and the one i did get it wouldnt turn off even with the keys out.. so thats where i am now

My diagrams show the on-off for the radio is a black/pink wire. If you tie the amp trigger wire to this, it will cut on and off with the key.
