The digital readout is part of the Dual Zone HVAC component. If that is what you are trying to remove, the look on the Vette Essentials web site under the install instructions and you'll find what you need to get the radio bezel off which will provide you access to the HVAC unit.

It might help if you provide a brief description of what the problem is you are having.

The HV/AC read out was very dim for a while,if you tapped it ,it would glow brighter.Now you can hardly see it at all. I wanted to check for loose wires.

Hey Dave, chances are you'll need to get into the unit and resolder some of the connections back together. I've got some Word files that describe the process - if you'd like a copy, PM me your e-mail address.

And to get the radio bezel off, go to the Vette Essentials web site like I mentioned above and look at their instructions.
