Center Stack Removal w/video

**snoopy0812** · 06-02-2010 01:39 AM

So today I was prepping for my unavi, told everyone I'd do a detailed how-to, heres the start with removing the center stack and the top panels protecting the top speaker and IDD.

The total tutorial is about 18 minutes long since I did everything in real time, so, if you do it step by step or as I'm doing it, it should take you that long. Once you know what you're doing it should take about 5-10 minutes max.

For the shifter trim, in a manual, it's easier to just unbutton the shifter boot, stick your hand in, grab the trim (at the side closest to the rear of the car), and pull up.
For autos, you have to do it the way in the videos.

I have no audio at work, so if you did mention that, sorry heh.

I didn't mention that in this video but I do usually do that, but I did it this way because it's what the automatic trim requires since you can't just stick your hand through the shift gate.

For the manual if you take the shifter knob off to get the boot and trim off be sure to put it back on so you don't scratch the trim for the radio and climate controls.

!*! IMPORTANT NOTE !*!

Today I test drove my GC with the center stack out, A/C controls removed, Hazard Button removed, P/S Airbag Indicator removed and IDD removed.

Headunit (radio) still works however for obvious reasons does not display info.
Airbags are DISABLED if the P/S Airbag indicator is removed!
A/C does not opperate for obvious reasons, however the A/C unit randomly cycles.
Traction Control is hyper active and limits vehicle pretty bad.
