First, take off the center vents above the radio, like so:

Then, remove the ash tray and surround, like so:

Then remove the 4 bolts, which I've circled:

actually they recommend you use a hook tool to get those plastic pieces out not a screw driver, i made my own tool it looks like this, you slide it in and turn like a key and pull out,

what you putting in?

 

[DrJsl2008]

just bought a ipod adapter off ebay and not quite sure how I'm gonna do it yet. Just wanted to gather all the info before it got here on thursday. I also gotta get the top vent part out because the piece holding "fuel setup reset status" buttons is broke so I have to figure out what I'm doing with that too.

Mine's broke too.. Most likely the person who had it out last, tightened the bolts too tight and snapped off the place where the screw go's in.. Most likely, you will have to buy a new vent.. About 30 on eBay I think..

you know those bolts are a lot easier to get to if you remove the whole ash tray and heated seat buttons LOL its four screws on 2nd gens and maybe only two on 1st gens

 

[pektel]

Yeah, forgot that part. it's only 2 screws/bolts. Those steps are all I had pictures of lol.

 

[1LoudLS]

i could just see some rookie staring at the bolts saying WTF how do i get them out. ROFL

 

[pektel]

LMAO Normally I just look at it and figure it out from there.
