STEP 1. Apply parking brake and place gear shift into drive. Open
center arm rest and remove two (2) 7mm bolts from the front of the
console. Photo #1. Insert DTRT behind the gear shift trim bezel.
Press down to release a retainer clip. Work the tool around the trim
until all clips are released. Lift ring over gear shift and set aside.
STEP 2. Insert the DTRT behind the cup holder/shifter bezel near
the 7mm bolt holes. Press down to release a clip. Work the tool
around the bezel until all clips are free. Lift bezel over shifter,
disconnect wiring and set bezel aside. Photo #1.
STEP 3. Insert DTRT behind the upper-right corner of the radio
bezel. Press down gently to release a clip. Work the tool around
the bezel until it is completely free. Very carefully disconnect the
wiring and vacuum lines from the bezel. Set bezel aside.
STEP 4. Remove four (4) screws from the corners of the radio. Pull
radio out of its cavity, wrap protective cloth around radio and let it
hang down. DO NOT disconnect radio wiring.
STEP 5. Place the VSM G3 against the right side of the radio cavity,
aligning it just above the clip hole. Photo #2. Using the VSM G3 as a
guide, mark the location of the two (2) screw holes and set the VSM
G3 aside. Use a utility knife and trim the small ridge behind the VSM
G3 so it sits tight against the dash pad. Drill two (2) pilot holes at
the marked locations using a 5/64” bit and drill. Align the VSM G3
over the pilot holes, insert two (2) #8 x 1/2” screws and tighten.
STEP 6. Assemble the dash in reverse order, remembering to
reconnect the wiring harness. You have successfully installed your
VSM G3.
