    If you want to see more detail about the steering wheel, gas pedal, and dash removal, check out WannabeRacer here on RUclips. He has some good videos about that. Here's a link to his channel ---> ruclips.net/channel/UCjx-5T37-IbyungIXrYnb4g

    Did you cut the wiring out? or is there a plug I am missing?

      Do you mean, for the stereo system? I cut the speaker wires going to the doors, because it looked like de-pinning the connectors inside the door frames was gonna be a huge hassle (probably requiring door removal). The rest of the stereo harness was unplug / unbolt.

      @@michaelblacktree Cool Ill look into that on my car. Did the did the cleanup video this week where I took out the airbag brain, airbags, ect... and was looking at how realistic it would be to remove all the stereo wires without cutting.

      Speaking of the airbag controller, I found out it has some other functions. For example, it can lock the seatbelts and sever the battery cable in case of a crash. It also has a wire going to each seat, maybe for occupancy sensors? Just FYI.

      @@michaelblacktree good to know, I think I will keep it deleted for now as all my seats and airbags are gone at this point.

      I tend to agree. You wouldn't want your battery cable to go bye-bye if you tap a wall...

      Are you referring to the waxy stuff that smells like crayons? That stuff is under the backseat and behind the dash, but not under the carpet.
