Alright guys this is a few part question......

1. I can't get my dash trim completely off because it gets stuck against my steering wheel.  I had a really hard time installing my radio because that car doesn't have a dash kit, and it doesn't exactly iso mount well.  Plus since I couldn't get the trim completely off I had very little room to try sneaking the radio behind the dash trim. So it looks like crap and I'm going to have a really hard time fixing it so I was hoping someone had a trick, besides breaking it, how I can get that trim off.  If I had a tilt steering wheel I don't think I'd be having this problem, but I know it has to be able to come off without having tilt wheel......any suggestions?

2.  I'm going to be installing a remote start and I'm too lazy to meter every last wire to see what does what.  Does anyone have a diagram I can use as a reference point?  I'll meter those wires to be safe, but other than that....I'm just too lazy. 

3.  Does anybody have any suggestions or tips on this car just so I know what to look out for?!?
