I don't have any photos, but I used a plastic pry bar, and the dash is held on by clips. They release, but fairly hard. That said, I did not need to remove it completely, I just lifted the trailing edge enough to to run and tie the wires underneath. The led is easy as the plastic piece over the instrument cluster just snaps out much easier than the dash.
Even though I did my own on the first car, it was a big job, and Elie at Al and Eds made me a great offer to install the one in my 2nd car. I had some business in LA to do, and Elie had his guys there on Saturday to complete it. He has an HPWC to have your car charged, and had a rental car waiting when I dropped mine off!! What Great service. I could not justify the time and headache, and they did a great job.
Install was perfect. Thanks for the tip on that plastic piece above the cluster.

Mine is behind the nosecone (magnetized) on the top of steel bar. Works great!!
I just installed the 9500ci in the dash and it's having problems connecting with the GPS. I assume I should move it under the mesh on the dash. My installed felt that it was bake too much in the sunlight. Do I need to move it to the nosecone?
