Arched "A" Pilar Decoration.
Has anyone removed the top trim from the A-pillars to allow the cable to be routed behind? I plan to install a dash cam tomorrow. What are some suggestions? Be cautious to maintain a safe distance from the Air Bag.

Yes, I did recheck the recall. There is a contradictory statement on cali emissions that states it can prevent a not ready, so I ruled it out at first. However, it does say it would read N/A. Later today, I will meet with the dealer.

Based on my research, it appears that all you have to do is drive it until the screen clears. My guess is that it needs to execute two deNox and deSox processes.
