HD antennae install

I recently purchased a Dice HD radio w/ipod integration. Does anyone have any hints or tips on how to remove the A pillar trim in order to run the HD antennae lead to the radio unit that will be located behind the glove box?



Thanks.

Thanks.
Yes (will post photos later).
1) Remove the two screws that hold the passenger side sun visor in place, then remove the sun visor.
2) Pull the A pillar trim to the right to separate it from the top windshield trim, and then pull it upwards - that's it. BTW, the tricky part will be getting the A pillar trim back in.

Also, you'll need to remove the passenger side air vent to continune running the antenna cable to the location behind the glove box.

DIY Photos - HD DICE Antenna Install

A pillar trim separates from windshield top frame trim. First remove two sun visor screws to remove sun visor, then pull A pillar trim to the right and then up.


Also need to remove passenger vent assembly by removing two screws. Lower screw accesible after deploying cup holder, upper screw accessible by removing decorative screw cover. Then just pull vent assembly out. (HD DICE antenna cable shown dangling).
