I got received the CD add-on for the GXE from Courtesy (couldn't resist the $70 price) and have searched thru the threads on removing the dash trim. However it seems all threads were for the SE but my 2k1 GXE seems to have a 2 piece dash. Anybody have advise on removing it (or is is really the same procedure as for the SE -- I just don't want to start without talking to you all first)?

 

Not a bad deal on factory equip.. I just bought one. Check some of the stickies or how to's for people that have replaced that section of dash. I'll have to look now also. I'll let you know what I find. Later

 

2 piece dash?
I do believe that the only difference is
that the SE has a double din sized stereo while
the GXE is single din with a compartment underneath.
Disassembly should be the same in both cases...
Punkdork can verify, though.

 

As far as I know you just need to remove the little storage box under the tape player.

 

OK, so here's what I found. I'm going to go for it tonite unless someone has another method.....

-POP THE AC VENTS UP TOP
-2 SCREWS BEHIND THE VENTS HOLDING TOP PART OF DASH
-TAKE ASHTRAY OUT, SMALL SCREW BEHIND THE DUMMY TRAY IN ASHTRAY
-POP THE TRIM AROUND THE SHIFTER
-2 SCREWS UNDERSIDE HOLDING THE BOTTOM OF DASH.
-Take THE TOP 2 BOTTOM 2 OUT PULL THE CENTER CONSOLE RIGHT OUT

 

thats what i did and it worked but then again i have se too.. :P
