Does anyone have the removal instructions/pictures for the dash/glovebox areas? ie the plastic trim above the gloveboox, etc...

Also would like removal pics for access the area infront of shifter where the USB and power port is to make some modifications there. ie making the area deeper so my phone can fit in there, (looks like this was designed for flip phones and first gen iphones)


Thanks!

ie making the area deeper so my phone can fit in there,
I have thought about that too, but perhaps a better question would be, is there any space behind the cubby to actually make it deeper?

Possibly if the USB and 12volt power outlet were relocated, an inch or so might be gained.

I would have preferred the USB outlet on the side opposite the driver for better access. The 12volt outlet, I could get by without.

My biggest pet peeve is the lack of a constant powered on USB outlet. I have let smaller electronics charge all day while at work, and have never run down a car battery from doing so. If a cell phone can take down a healthy car battery, there's some issue going on.

I'll be watching this thread for sure.
