2004 Corolla Dash Removal

[boone82]

I'm getting ready to install a new deck, amp and security system in my 04 Corolla. I don't know how to remove the dash panels and I'm not exactly sure where to start. Has anyone had any experience with this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Also, know where I could get a wiring diagram or schematic to make the hook-up a little easier?
Thanks,
Boone

I posted this thread a long time ago. Since then, I've installed everything and it was pretty easy. If you have any questions, let me know and I'll see if I can help.

how do you remove the dash panel. Tell me more about your installation process.

I got a 2004 Corolla CE, would like to add alarm too.

do you know how to remove the door panel, too? like to install powerlock and window.

how about premolded armrest with switches (lock and window). where can I get those

to remove the door panel you just have to take out the screw holding the door handle thing and pop off the top of the arm rest and remove those two screws and just pop it the rest of the way off basically..i dont know what to do with the powerlocks and stuff though...

where are the screws holding the door handle? Are they hidden

[GroupieHoney]

there is just one screw holding the door handle..its like right there in the open..at least thats how it is in mine...but actually i know realize that i read ur original post wrong...i thought it had said that you had a 94 not an 04. i drive a 94 so i thought i could help you...sorry about that. i felt smart for a minute though haha

There is no such thing. However, most aftermarket power locks have the switches built inside them so there is no need to install buttons to push. Also, good companies like Spal have all kinds of power window kits with all kinds of different switches so there is no need to find something premade to fit your car.

Thank you for the information. I'll look into SPAL

It would look better with factory original panel. I'm not too crazy about cutting a car up!
