Hey mate

The screws on the side walls of the centre section need to come out and there is two sneaky screws up the top on each air vent - lay the air vents back and look up under the top of the centre piece and you'll see the 2 screws inside the actual air cent spaces that need to come out - from there it is just clipped in place ... pop it out gently an detach lighter connection, clock, etc as you go

No photos, but let us know if you can't find them ... should do though ...

Thanks man yeah i got it just dident c those screws up the top

there might be 4 screws across the top above the airvents, or less is someone has stripped the threads.

There is provisions for a screw behind the ash tray - pull the ash tray forward and up.

Then there are the screws down low on the sides of the plastic cover.

This info read together is what needs doing to remove your center dash.

Are you still running the factory head unit & tape player?

Hi, Did you end up replacing the Tape deck loom connection with the new CD Player connection? I am going to rewire the CD player loom to the existing wiring, I see alot of people also get connection kits for the GQ..

autoban have a wireing loom that plugs into the existing sockets and the other end (you need to specify what brand of player deck is used) pluges into new player

stop wasting beer money. Scotch Locks work just fine

The best thing you can do with scotch locks for automotive use is to throw them in the bin.
