If above doesn't work then u have to start unscrewing from the back of the centre console & work your way up to the deck .
But usually the dashboard face plate around the deck pops off if u stick a flat metal object like a hacksaw blade or metal nail file & press 1 of the clips , pull/looosen that area then work your way around .....
i'm guessing here but if u remove the 2 big dial buttons , there might be a flat nut on each of the shafts - loosen that & see if the deck shakes/moves so u can the see where the clips are located . & "usually the dashboard face plate around the deck pops off if u stick a flat metal object like a hacksaw blade or metal nail file & press 1 of the clips , pull/looosen that area then work your way around" .....
i agree with Rovin's approach. on mine, you have to pop off the a/c control dials, and there are screws behind them and once you get those off the panel pops off.
U must give credit to the Japanese engineers for concealing the way its attached on .
When i 1st got my Nissan wagon i spent most of the day searching how the @#$%! was my deck installed & when i finally figured it out i was like " duhhh , OOOOOOOO-KKKKKKKK !!! " .
Well now give me 2 minutes & i'll steal the deck from your ride if its same model as mine ! - lol
Recently i did a simple system for my sister's husband & he was like 'how do i remove that ' - now he has the newer model to my wagon & dash is totally different . He says to see what u can do & less than 5 minutes i handed him the deck ! - needless to say he was amazed !
lol whao thats cool rovin but dude what i was thinkin that the ac panel is diffrent you know those 2 windows from which air comes out? possibely try to remove that somehow cuz thats a diffrent panel . so just try to remove that with the windows..??? cuz it seems deep
MW was saying that in HIS car he had to remove the a/c dials . u do not need to remove the ac fins cause from what i see in your pic - its not related . Whats behind that panel that has Toyota printed on it ? that might be a clue , that might be able to pop off & could be some screws hiding behind there ....
Like i posted above - get a thin flat metal nail file (like the females use on their nails) & feel around for the plastic clips/tabs that hold it , usually its 2 clips per side . I'm sure when u attempt it & get through u WILL say " duhhh , OOOOOOOO-KKKKKKKK !!! " - just like me ......
oh thnx rovin.. can i ask u for favour man its a new car i dun wanan damage ne thing can u PLZ PLZ take that pic n just mention where exactly u want me to use that tool.. i can make be use - screw driver the flat one,, or do u mean that just that that thing metal thing feel that around the corner n if i see a metal clip thing then remove it with that?
Get some clear plastic scotch taped & put a layer or 2 around the nail file so that way it won't scape anything while u are feeling around the perimeter of that black panel - er , that sounds kinda p erverted ! - ha ha ....
Those panel things are made of plastic - no biggy dude be brave & try it out tomorrow .
