Taking off the panel that covers the radio and heater controls

[JGraham]

I have a 2004. 5 Laramie H package. This has the satin finish panel that covers the radio, heater, and the heated seats buttons... question is how do I remove that panel to remove my radio?
Thanks!

remove the one screw above the trash bag hook on the pass side, then open up the ash tray, cupholder [if you got one there] and maybe pull down the drivers side knee blocker piece. then grab an edge and pull it away. the HVAC controls are attached to that panel, as are the heated seat buttons so the connectors will need to be removed from the controls, also on the lighter, and air bag cutout switch or blanking plate [the wire is there even if the switch isn't]... pretty easy. opening up the ashtray/cupholder/knee pad help prevent scratching the panel.
