I know that I might sound like a dunce asking this, but here it goes. I started to install the I-pod adapter and I thought it would be strait forward to gain access to the radio. I started to pry that panel in front of the radio and it won't budge. Anything I'm overlooking? Any tricks on how to do it?

Thanks Ryan, that was very helpfull. I popped it in and is sounds great. I must thank Shane for making the adapter. I removed the armrest box also and I did a clean install. The button and the cable is all hidden in the box. I'll get some pics online. My wife is out of town and she took the digital camara. I figure it could give someone an idea on a different way of doing it.

Glad to hear you got it in. I did mine kinda quick and dirty, I need to drill some holes inside the armrest box and mount the switch and RCAs nicely. In the thread about making the adaptor, some people were mentioning having to turn their players about all the way up to get decent volume. I noticed this too, and thought about getting one of these: http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/electronic/3399/to get some extra volume, not to mention help my Ipod's battery life.
