Default C6 console dummy switch panel

I have a 13 grandsport. It does not have heated seats. How do I remove the panels that go in instead of the heated seat switches? I want to put a rocker switch in one of them but don’t want to just blindly yank on it. Thanks

Find a how to thread or video on replacing a stereo. Take off the radio surround and you'll see how to remove the panel in question.

​​​​​​Easier to do than explain in words so a video or pictorial really helps.

gotcha wasn’t sure if I needed to pull the console or not. Didn’t want to go the long route if their was a faster way

Taking it apart is the faster way in the long run as you'll have more access to the area you need to get to.

It only takes minutes to take it apart. The hardest parts for me were unplugging the traction control and cigarette lighter (which I never plugged back in) and plugging the heated seat connectors back in which you don't have to worry about.
