Default Removing wiring harness?

Hello everybody. I have a bit of a problem and would love some help. I am currently trying to remove the wiring harness from my 07 tc that used to be connected to the pioneer upgraded headunit. I have everything else from the unit removed except this. i have taken it to some friends as well as a mobile audio shop, both didnt know how to remove it. the audio shop said it would be very difficult and didnt want to try to mess with all the wiring. my question is for all of you members. Does anybody know a detailed way to remove the wiring harness? any help would be much appreciated. thank you!

ok i have some pictures of what my system now looks like. as you can see there are three plugs that dont plug into anything anymore. the one that is on the farthest right is the harness that utilizes the ipod integration. if anybody has any clue on how to remove this without screwing up a lot of other things that would be much appreciated. i have someone waiting to receive this and i dont want to dissapoint him. thanks to everybody who can help!

If i remember correctly you gotta take out the entire center console to remove that.

its not hard at all to do.

might take 30 min or so.


Search for "how to edead it" by Mandos

uhh.. the ipod harness??

UUUGGGGGGHH.....
30 mins? heheh... yeah right. it'll feel more like 30 HOURS.

it'll be more than just the center console you gotta take apart. it's routed in there DAMN GOOD... and it's not easy. i'll tell ya that right now... you just gotta follow the wire and get it out... concept: easy... doing it? uhhh..

i've only heard of one person doing it.. and yea... it wasn't a pleasant experience.
