Title: Tire pressure gauge fell behind dash panel
Post by: Cbudden on June 16, 2016, 10:55:42 AM
Hi everyone,

I'm looking for assistance in removing the small tire pressure gauge I keep in my car. Somehow it fell behind the door that covers the ambient light color switch (no navigation in my car).

Any tips for removing the door? Or does the whole dash need to be removed?

Thanks in advance

Not my car but it's the door right below the climate control.

I would think that you would find it by reaching around behind that from the passenger or driver foot well. It should hit the drive shaft hump if it went over the back of that compartment.

The two trim pieces that have the trunk button and starter button pop off all the way to the center console.
Once that's off it opens up a little behind the radio/HVAC controls.
If you need to remove the whole center unit there's some screws behind the center speaker cover and a few behind said trim pieces
