Wondering if anyone has picture or a DIY for taking the trim and steering tac off for a shift light kit. Thanks

 

There are 2 allen bolts behind the tach. Just lower the wheel as low as it will go and you can access them easily.

 

Heres the info and photos I posted from my Sirius install How To thread:

Remove the tachometer.

There was a great thread/video by war6763 located here. Thank you, awesome info!

So as war6763 showed, you want to first remove the two Torx 30 screws that hold the Tachometer in place. I adjusted the steering wheel all the way down, and pulled it out as far as it would go for clearance. Then removed the screws:





You really want to use a screwdriver with a magnetic tip so that these screws don't fall off into the console. If they do, it'll be a major pain to find, you could have a rattle, and you'll likely need to re-order these screws from the dealer. Not fun. So take it slow and use a magnetic tip!

After you have removed these two screws, the Tach slides out a bit freeing up space. It's obviously still wired in, so it won't go very far, but it helps give you clearance for what's up next.

Remove the plastic cover behind the tach.

Just use a flat head screwdriver and place a few layers of black electrical tape around the tip. This should soften the contact area a bit. Then jam it in there and pull out and down. It will feel like you're going to brake it. You might, but I didn't. Just realize that if you really do break it, the piece is small and can be replaced.






When it's fully removed:




Here is the back of this plate with the plug areas highlighted so you know where to give the most pressure:

 

What did you use for your Sirius radio? Was it the stock stuff or aftermarket? Also just in case you do drop a screw down into the dash most of the time it goes into the pan right above the pedals. You can pull on the cover right bellow the steering wheel and it will pop down. It is where the first gens put the parcel shelf.

 

I used an aftermarket Sirius Sportster 5 with a custom bracket I designed.
The full How To is here in this thread.

Here's the final outcome:

 

I got to talk to the stealership and see what they are charging now and what the parts are. I might by the part install it myself then have them code it.
