2025 Tahoe iDash install - Dash side panel removal - SOLVED

[contenderv07]

I finally got an iDash for the tahoe but I'm trying to find a good video on popping the side panel off from the dash. I've seen a couple of videos but can't find one that shows where I can put my fingers to pull it out, or even get a plastic pry in. Anyone have any recommendations or help??

Don't know, but have you tried searching for videos on replacing the a-pillar speakers? I'd think one of those videos would show how to remove that trim piece.

no worries! I KINDA see how it works but I hate these plastic pieces with a passion and I'd hate to have to buy another one because I'm an idiot

You are welcome, I remembered that video because I bought the Auto Stop Eliminator and had to do exactly what that video showed to install it in my 2025 Yukon.

once I knew where to pry from, it was super easy. Not a huge fan of the cable but I'll wait for someone to 3D print a better mount. At least we'll know when we're close to a regen (among other things). Thanks again everyone

Can you post a link for the mount and which Banks idash you chose?
Thanks
