I'm trying to install my Course Motorsports phone holder...and I can't get the radio bezel trim off for anything. NOW...I'm not being (too) stupid here, I just got rid of my 2024 for this 2025. The 2024 is the same (I thought) and all the needed trim pieces (including the radio bezel) pop right off with no trouble, as expected. But in this 2025, it's like something is different. I can get the upper-left edge off, but that's it...and I'm not afraid to give it a yank, but this seems more than that. Something is going to break if I pull any harder.
Just wondering if anyone else has run into this on a 2025?

Not sure about the 25's, but on my 24, I had a couple of the clips that were hard to pull out. Thought I was breaking something for a while there. You might just need to tug a little harder or use a trim tool to help. Not sure what else to tell you on that one.

It should pop straight out, try a plastic pry tool. I just did it a couple days ago to install the Perimeter Plus alarm/remote start and CANopener. '25 STX

On order ‘22 RCSB.
Grip it and rip it…lol

my 2022 was just like that. Very unnerving.

try at your own risk. I am clueless about 24-25 trim

The phone mount actually came out of my '24... and I had NO problem with it. Something had changed for '25 with it.

Do you have any pictures of yours... because this thing isn't moving. I did it on a '24 with no trouble, so I'm familiar. But something had changed.

I'm trying to add a photo, but this site's been sketchy today for me. I'm sure your Platinum has the 12" screen like my STX so it *might* be the same dash trim setup.

But the '25 Powerboost is not like that one. Even though the title says thru '25, it's not the same for '25.
Can you post a photo of yours?

See the difference. The 2024 snaps off just like in the video. Not-so with the 2025. Looks like you have the early 2025 style (same as 2024 and earlier).
