Im installing XM Radio and need to get behind the radio. I havent tried yet, it is different from my 99 model. Any help would be appreciated.

I think you can get behind radio by way of
droping glove box.

There are 2 screws above the guages holding the trim piece to the dash. Remove them with 9/32 socket then slowly pull the trim cover away the dash being careful not to crack the latching clips. You can then disconnect the wire harnesses from the headlight switch and center area controls to make access easier. The radio can be removed without disconnecting the switches, but it's more work to pull/hold the dash trim toward you while removing the radio than it's worth. There are 2 screws to remove at the bottom of the radio bracket and you're done. Do the reverse to reinstall.
