Hi guys,

Does anyone know if there is any really good programs for installers, with info on how different dash panels come apart, wire colors, etc.?   I am just trying to find something for at work, so that when a vehicle comes in here and we haven't seen it before we don't need to spend the extra time figuring it out. Thanks!

Workshop manuals, sometimes Metra etc. I like to give them a look over when I'm doing something new.
Other wise get out the Bojo tools and join the rest of us in that game known as "suck it and see".

Amateurs assume, don't test and have problems; pros test first. I am not a free install service.
Read the installation manual, do a search here or online for your vehicle wiring before posting.

https://www.metraonline.com/  Go there and select the vehicle.  Then click on the kit that comes up for your vehicle.  Then there will be a link to a PDF file with the instructions on how to get the dash apart.

That site is so good Craig, I have it on my (Android) phone here in the UK!
Plan B is to ring up a pal who's a "team manger" for a fleet of installers and ask him if any of his people have done such and such a vehicle! He does it to me.
