So I would think a small thin rounded piece of metal, similar to a non-serrated
butter knife could do it. That's all I used to pop the radio trim on other Chryslers (Sebring and 300M). Let's hear from the experienced members. Several others have installed aftermarket radios.
Not so much.
In order to take the main trim rings / silver pieces off, you have to take the radio out. There are two screws holding the main silver piece together, only accessible by taking the radio out. They're on the front / top part where you slide the radio in.. kind of hard to explai but just run your fingers across the top edge where you insert the radio in and you'll feel them..
Once you remove these two screws, you can pull out on the entire silver console piece. My method is to open the ashtray and stick your fingers under the trim piece from the ashtray slot and pull, makes it much easier.
