A quick snapshot of the 
4 screws removed in the 
previous steps.  Just 
provided for reference 
incase it is useful for 
someone... 

The next step is to re-
move the outer dash trim 
piece.  To do this just 
start pulling up at the top 
and work your way 
down.  I have shown the 
before and after pictures 
on the left and right re-
spectively. 

Now, remove the four 
screws holding in the 
center dash rack.  This 
rack holds the entirely 
CD, ashtray, lighter, etc 
assembly.  Be careful, 
underneath this unit is 
the airbag control sys-
tem.  We would not 
want to inadvertently 
damage it in the proc-
ess.  On the next page is 
a large picture showing 
the four screws to re-
move.  The picture on 
the let is before remov-
ing them.  On the right 
is after.
