Hi, Im about to remove my center console to fix the after-market radio wiring madness. There are wires going into the trunk via the center tunnel. also, some live wires going into the glove box. Been studying the parts diagram. Looks like they are just bolts but I find it hard to access. Before I call in the world's strongest person. Anyone has tips on removing the radio shroud, center console all the way to the back seats? Image Unavailable, Please Login
I had to pull the back seat backs and bottoms, remove the rear console then you can access the screws under there... that and removing the shifter console area and ashtray (screw under there I believe) and take out the front gauge package (six gauges across the top) and it should lift right out. I did not take mine out completely when I installed my radio conversion... was able to get wires all sorted with the outer console in place.
hey guys - reviving old thread. I'm about to do this to revamp my stereo stuff. any tips to removing the tranny tunnel trim? back seats and back center compartment? and what stereo stuff did you end up using? thanks jay
Can you let me know how the tire routing to the trunk works? I am going to run a sub cable from the head to the amp.
what do you mean by 'tire routing'? I'll try to find out exactly where my PO ran the cables for my system and let you know - i'm pretty sure he went from: battery/breaker (through fire wall with existing wire harness) along the right rocker panel under the passenger door, over the right rear wheel well (under the right rear seat) and into a LARGE capacitor sitting in the cubby in the upper right side of the trunk. then wires go down to 2 amps where the spare tire was. All the wires go from the amps to a digital processor next to the disc changer; THEN all the wires run back to the head unit in the glove box; I believe they run back to the front of the car under the tranny tunnel trim. i'll try to get pics this wknd
Sorry wire routing. Need N.A. route from stereo head unit to amp. I think the original head unit cable runs that route.
So I’m gonna run the wires for the stereo this wknd. I’m still trying to figure the simplest way to ‘gently lift’ the center tunnel without fully removing the gauge cluster and shifter console. I’ll let you know how it goes… Also any tips on removing the rear corner console (with arm rest) would be appreciated. I removed the 2 bolts/ 1 screw and it didn’t budge. Am I missing something? ty
