Remove 12V A/C from front bin

[RobPaulson]

how do i get the 12V adapter OFF of the bin in the center front console?? The clips are not moving at all and I really dont want to break this ... basically I am trying to feed my ipod connection from my AVIC into the center front bin for easy access through the 12V port (since i never use that power connection)



The pics arent that good, but i have a feeling it would be impossible to figure out just from pics ... anyone with experience on this??

Im not sure it will come out clean, why not just drill a hole thru the back of the storage bin for it, so you can use the 12v in the future if you ever need it?

I drilled a hole just below the felt piece of tape...

FYI when you are putting the bin back in, make sure you line up the little nipples facing both ways, I think it gave me a hard time until I realized that.!

ya ... i am never going to use that 12V there because im replacing it with the ipod connection/charger for my AVIC unit. I was able to solve the problem tho ...

FTW!!! LOL

Now I have my ipod link coming in through the 12V without cutting into that box ... just cut into the 12V unit a bit. Saving those hole positions for my LED's like how you used them LBC =P

I hardly use it, but when I installed my AVIC-Z3, I just drilled a hole in the top near the 12V plug for my ipod adap. Better be safe then sorry dude. Leave the 12V supply and drill the hole. That's just my 411.

i didn't even know there was a 12v source there! who woulda thunk!

It comes out, but it's a pain in the a**. I sat on my chair for a while trying to pry it out, and it eventually came out... persistence is key! Even in the FSM they show you how to do it, but I must say those dimples are so hard to push out... I ran my ipod and USB cable through there for my DDX812 Proud that I didn't have to drill a hole haha...

So you push the entire thing out towards the inside of the box while you have the two dimples simultaneously pushed in... it's a real b**** so good luck!

why not just run the cable into the glove compartment. That way you don't have to drill any holes and u can lock it. thats what i did with my avic

That is where it was initially. I do not want it there.

I have already dremel'd the 12V. I will not ever, ever, ever use that stupid power for anything. I have an iphone, so that avic connection charges my phone and connects to my primary media source. Dremel was the only way I saw it coming out, so I did it. I dont have patience for trying to pry that PoS out, I felt like I was going to crack the entire thing. It was NOT designed to be taken out ...

I dremeled it with no regrets.
