Yeah it can kinda be hard to pull off. I had a hard time getting my fingers
between the trim. I used a flad head screw driver and added tape on the head so it would scratch the trim and pried it up just enough to get my fingers in between trim and the truck molding and just start pulling it off. It worked fine just take your time and dont get in a hurry.

Oh BTW dont forget to unplug the airbag light when you start taking the trip off at the top. Its at under the top part of the trim.

Good Luck!!

Open the ashtray and start the pulling from the bottom, should be easier to get a good purchase point on it.

I'm in the process of installing a Kenwood DNX 7100 HU and this post really helped me, it may help you as well.

usually I don't unplug the a/c controls... and make sure the airbag plug is in ALL the way, if not, you'll get an airbag light until it's plugged in properly
