pull out the radio bezel

you will have to loosen up the shifter console trim and remove it

which means you take out the cupholder first

and then remove the front screws for the center console (not the back ones obscured by the seats)

remove the shifter trim by pulling straight up-you probably have to remove the shifter knobs but you may be able to pull out the radio bezel (center trim piece that surrounds everything) just by having the shifter trim out of the way.

The radio bezel just pulls straight out-take your time don't force anything...


check out other interior dash threads like Ritzy Runner's postings with extensive pictures

search by member name or check out Yota Tech Tech writeup section also.

It helps to have a second set of eyes with you to hold down the console while you pull up on the shifter trim and watch what you are doing to help you put it all back together again correctly.

Going to the Tacoma fixed mast?
