05 Camry Dash Disassembly

[jjakubowski]

I am installing a Parrot 3100 bluetooth car kit into my 2005 Camry SE. I do not want to damage any of the dash. Can anyone tell me how to take out the radio panel?

Is there no one that can help me here, I find it hard to believe that none of the TN members have taken the dash apart on a Gen5 Camry.

Please help as I am getting anxious and do not want to scratch any of my dash...

i took out that panel today actually, i was trying to fix some rattling noise coming from there
anyway, since nobody else has replied for how to do it, i will

there should be 4 clips (shown in the red circles)
you should just start by getting a flathead screwdriver, cover it in a cloth (so you dont scratch anything),
then start prying at the points marked with the green arrows.
you dont need to do use too much force, being gentle will be sufficent
after the bottom has popped out a bit, start prying from the top and the respectively positions.



and after you remove the panel, it should look like this:

Good to see that Toyota redesigns the Radio so that the vol is on the driver side. Unlike GM/Holden radios
