Anyone have directions as to remove panel around factory radio,and climate control *****?

 

I have a 07, I don't know your model year, but it should be the same

The entire brushed aluminum panel is held in place by spring clips
Put your fingers in the two 12V charge holes at the bottom (to give you a place to grab) and pull straight toward you
It takes a good pull. It should release from bottom first and then you can grab the side and release the top part

Careful, there are wires that are connected to the back, you must disconnect those next

 

If you need pictures do a search on iPod and there will be an install thread for alternative iPod install with picture.

 

If you pull up and out it is easier to pull out, but it should come out pretty easily
