    I removed those annoying stickers on the sun visor.
    I'm interested in removing the center switch panel to rearrange some other the switches. Lots of information on removing the one to the left of the driver's seat, but not the one on the right.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    afaik you need to remove the radio and come at it from above, at least that’s how I’ve interacted with it

    Pulling the radio is easy. The trim surrounding it pulls right off with no tools and the radio itself is held in with 4 10mm bolts.

    edit: cool ignore me see above around the 2m mark :cheers:

    i will rip that video so i can add the ECT "On at start up" mod.

    that's a lot to get the switch panel off, not like my 2016 it just pulls off.

    It's a 2022. I'm assuming the ECT button is only on automatic transmissions. The 2023 automatics that I test drove all had it.

    There may well be easier/better ways to go about removing or accessing that panel. I just saw your question and remembered watching that video when I was contemplating doing the 2Lo mod.
