I need to use the aux port to connect it with my ipod nano..

The problem is how to take out the unit itself..

Any ideas?

this may help i got it from an ebay ad for an in dash cell phone mount

Tools Required: Hook tool and T-15 Torx Driver

Hardware Included: None

Step# 01
Remove air vents. This is done by locating a (1) small set of lock clips on the left side of each air vent. First, release the upper clips by inserting hook tool into upper clips. Pry just enough to pivot the air vents up one at a time and allow access to the Torx screws inside the air vent assembly. (2) Unscrew screws just enough to release from dash, you do not need to remove screws completely. Release the lower clips in the vents to turn the vents down by (3) inserting hook tool into lower clips, and pry out slightly. With flashlight locate the (2) catch lugs at the upper corners of the vent assembly. Use Torx driver to insert into catch lug and press down to release the top of the air vent assembly. Remove air vent assembly by working it out carefully, and set aside.

Step# 02
Remove shifter bezel by pulling up the front of the bezel to release (2) clips. Pull up again to release (2) more clips. Slide the bezel once released towards the front of the car, from under the arm rest sleeve. Remove the ashtray, with hook tool by prying (2) plastic clips at the front of the ashtray assembly.

Step# 03
There are (2) metal spring clips between where the ashtray was and below the climate control. Use hook tool to pivot them down, as this will release the bezel. Remove the (2) Torx screws at the top of the bezel with the T-15 Torx driver, and set aside.

Step# 04
With the Torx driver remove the screw to the right side of the radio. This screw is directly above a small plastic pin, and about 2-1/2" deep into the dash. Place the top hole of the InDash by PanaVise Mount over the screw hole, and the bottom hole over the pin. Reinstall the screw, and tighten.

Step# 05
Replace the bezel in reverse order, making sure that the spring clips at the bottom of the bezel are fully engaged before putting the ashtray back in.

Step# 06
Replace the air vents by inserting the assembly back in, and align the screws to the holes, push the top of the air vents in until they snap in. Release lock on air vent pivot, and pivot air vents up to tighten the screws inside the air vent assembly. Check operation of the center thumb wheel on the vent assembly for operation.

ahcoraj, thanks for the steps. I have been searching all over for the steps for the last two weeks. I keep finding similar unanswered threads or dead links to instructions.

Before I found this thread, I already had figured out that the vents would have to be removed, and I finally purchased a long enough (and skinny enough) T15 tool, and have removed the two Torx screws in the vents. I cannot seem to get the vent plate off. Now that I see your step one, it says to press the clips on the left side of each vent.

Do you have any pictures of where to pry? THis is my wifes car, and I dont want to break anything :S

THanks,
David
