How to remove radio bezel on 2007?

[Sean Flanagan]

I just recently purchased a shiny new '07 with the basic radio. My intention in doing so was to spend a few bucks and buy a nice radio. I will be replacing the standard radio bezel with the sport, carbon fiber look, navigation radio bezel (instead of the wood grain) to accomodate a double - din (4" high) head unit. As I am waiting for all the parts to arrive I've been poking around trying to figure out how to remove this radio bezel. I can't see any screws or anything.



Does anybody out there know how to easily remove the radio bezel on a 2007, not sport, manual transmission?



I understand that the bezel is fairly large piece that includes the part where the radio is as well as the part where the heater controls and power outlets are, all in one piece.



Thanks,



Sean

OK. Even though I searched and came up empty. I think It just popped up in another thread. https://www.turbodieselregister.com/forums/showthread.php?t=179742



It sounds like you have to take the floor console out first, then the piece just in front of the shifters, then you can get to the two screws that hold the radio bezel in place. Is this correct? What a pain... . Much easier on the 2nd gen.
