I had another look at my 2003. It appears that the piece we are trying to pull out extends well below the console. I tried a thumb in the socket, and hands to both sides... grunt... no give. I have two blank plates, but I can't see how to pop them out non-destructively. There's almost no access to the backside of any of this. I don't even want to take the radio out, really. I just need access to the 14 pin plug on the back of the head unit to plug my adapter in. Taking the glove box out is no help. Too much reinforcing framework to get from there to the radio. I did pop the rearmost section of the console out though. Several screws come next. If I spend 10 minutes a day doing this, I might have my birthday present installed by Christmas. -- --- Clarence A Dold - Hidden Valley (Lake County) CA USA 38.8-122.5 |

The blank panels next to the 12v accessory plug are easy to push out from
behind, But I have no rear access to them when all of the panels are in place. I tried a little prying, but couldn't get them to pop out without damaging the surrounding plastic. And even if I could get them out, it looks like the skirt from the bottom of that panel extends too far down below the lip of the console. It would be hard to pull the panel straight out far enough to clear the clips. So, I pulled the console out. I had some trouble getting all of the clips to pop out in the plastic around the parking brake lever. Not much to hang on to. Once that's out, there are two screws exposed there, two screws at the back of the console, accessible behind the seats, and two pop-rivet things at the front edge of the console. I could reach around and press the center pin out of those from the inside. With the console out, I pulled the lower accessory panel off and unplugged the 12v socket. Then I could see the two screws going up from the sub-panel area that hold the radio face on. I don't want to take the radio out. I just need access to the 14 pin plug on the back of the head unit to plug my adapter in. By pushing some wire bundles out of the way, I could reach up with my left hand and plug the adapter in to the 14 pin socket. If I had tried to do this with the console still in place, I might have needed another joint in the middle of my forearm. Different sized people might be able to get in there. So, now my PIE HON98-AUX Auxiliary Input Converter is in place. <http://www.logjamelectronics.com/piehon98aux.html> I used a $1.50 RCA to mini-phono adapter rather than the $19.95 PIE adapter. This was five feet long, which I laid in place under the console, exiting on the passenger side midway back. My Sony MZN510CK is plugged in via the headphone jack. I set the volume on the Sony to about "20". Any higher causes some distortion. I had to connect the "extra" ground wire on the PIE adapter. Without it, the music would clip completely, shutting down every few seconds, at any volume level over "10", which didn't yield enough volume from the radio. Maybe the $19.95 PIE adapter is something more than my $1.50 cable. There might be some impedance matching or something, although the site doesn't say so. -- --- Clarence A Dold - Hidden Valley (Lake County) CA USA 38.8-122.5 |
