REMOVING STOCK SHIFTER FOR 4X4 ON 07 WRANGLER

The 4WD shifter knob on the 2007 JK's is ridiculously hard to remove. Pull straight-up with all your might, then after that fails, get some towels, and a chunk of would with a long pry bar. Hopefully you won't crack your center console.

How do you remove a radio from a 2007 Tuscson city

Don't know the 'City' model... but if it's anything like the REGULAR Tucson, remove the shifter knob (remove access place to two phillips screws - remove screws). Remove shifter knob. Pop out shifter cover plate (snaps in and out). Remove approx 6 phillips head screws holding the metal plate above the shifter pedistal. Pop out the cosmetic cover around the radio, AC control panel and vents (wire harness connectors to digital clock, fog lamps and emergency flashers (and pass airbag light). You now have access to the phillips screws securing the audio/radio unit.

I am trying to remove the center console of a 2003 chevy impala to install an after market radio. Can someone give me directions please?

There are 2 10mm bolts in the compartment hold of the center console that must be removed. Two similar 10 mm bolts must be removed at the front of the center console, near the driver's and passenger's lower legs. The top of the center console, where the shifter is located, snaps out. With this top piece removed, the cigarette and auxilary outlet can be disconnected. Four more bolts near the shifter bracket need to be removed, and then the console is free. Hope this helps someone. I needed to remove the center console to install a component for a car stereo.

2007 Toyota Sequoia Dashboard Access to Radio console FM Antenna

Pull off the 3 knobs for the heat controls. You will see a screw under the center knob. Remove it. Look to see if there are any screws near the vent grilles, remove them, if they are there. The whole center fascia then pulls out towards you. Remove the 4 bolts, and the radio is out. Easy.
