Two years ago I took apart of the right side of my dash apart. I was looking for the satellite radio antenna connection as well as the USB connections, which I found.

But the heat and my ADD got the best of me and now I forget how everything goes back up inside the right side of my dash.

Is there a video or dash blueprint for assembly or disassembly of the dash.

My car is an automatic 2017 V6 Camaro RS Convertible.

Can you be more specific? Like are you talking about all the electronics up underneath the glove box or just all the fit and finish? because there’s a lot of stuff going on

[truckrglenn]

Yes, the electronics, under and up behind the glove box. That's why I was hoping that there was a blueprint of how they assembled the dash at the factory/supplier. 20 years ago I was part of the team that assembled the dash for the Saturn car. But it's a lot easier outside of the car on a rotating fixture.

Maybe a better picture will help. I'll try to take one today during the day light.

Best I could find for a 2017 V6 'Vert:

Thanks. The worst part is being 67 yrs old with a bad lower back. I can't lay on my back and look up under there anymore.

its been apart for 2 years?

[truckrglenn]

Yup. We had a lot of rainy days here. The ADD effects me really weird. I know something needs to be done. I'm starring right at it, but it's like my brain short circuits and I can't move forward.

I have 3 old reel to reel tape decks that are half apart. One turntable that needs to go together and 2-3 more that only need a needle alignment before I can sell them. These have been sitting around for longer then the Camaro.

I start a project and if I lose interest, that's it.

My advice, focus on the turntables or the reels. Bring the car to someone else to put together, dealer or otherwise. I have a bad back and neck (genetics, age and a lifelong gym rat). I’ve recently decided that I’m taking a new approach to certain exercises and projects…instead of no pain, no gain… it’s no pain, no pain. Protect your back and pay someone to squeeze under there. It’s not worth hurting yourself…

I was thinking about stopping at at an audio place about 10 miles away. The owner has, I think a 67 camaro and a 6th gen.

For the past 4 years I've been getting epidural steroid shots in between my L4 & L5 every 3 months.

Yea, just bring it there. That’s the way to go…

Chutzpah is right, just let someone with no back issues take care of this. I installed the RGB footwell lighting kit lying on my back, head down in the footwell a few years ago, and still remember the woes.

Here are two screenshots from the service manual, these may help, depending on the extent the dash is disassembled. If it's completely apart, you'll need the service manual, it has all the assembly information over lots and lots of pages. You can get it online from ACDelco TDS with a 3-day subscription that already allows you to download as much as you want.

OP,

Cracking up over Chutzpah's "no pain, no pain" revelation...

So CDB and Arpad have provided definitely the best "schematics" (not really the right word) for getting that all put back together. But seriously, is it worth saving even a few hundred bucks, even say $500, just to throw a wrench in the back again? You'd know better than I, but pretty sure the answer is "no".

Pay someone to do it, and be done with it. It'll feel worth it just to not have to look at it all anymore! Let alone not being in pain for a day, or a week, or more, when it wasn't necessary.

Then, yeah, get those reels and turntables put back together! :-)

Thanks everyone for the pics and advice.

I have the Bose system, but under Tone settings, I only show Talk and Custom to choose from. If it's not too much, maybe I can have them install a DSP too.
