Default How to remove it

Where are the attach points? I got the two bolts in the footwells and the screws by the radio but can’t release it upwards.

You'll need to disarm and remove the drivers side airbag and then remove the steering wheel. Remove the instrument cluster. Remove radio and climate control panel. Disarm and drop down the passengers side airbag. Remove underdash trim panels. Remove all the bolts ( I can't remember where they all are) and then the dash assembly should come out.

This is what you'll be left with:

Default Dang, that’s ugly!

About what I figured though. Those bolts you can’t remember are what I am trying to figure out! I didn’t actually remove my wheel yet as I may have found all my burnt wires by removing the instrument panel and dropping the steering column down.
Thanks a bunch for the pictures!
