I had a question about pulling out the radio on a 2003 civic. I bought this adapter http://www.pie.net/hon_aux_inst.htm the other day. It converts the 6-Disc CD Changer connecter on the back of the radio to an auxiliary input. I want to connect an MP3 player directly into the head-unit since I don't have a tape player. So, today I tried to install it, and failed. I downloaded Honda instructions for installing a CD Player/Tape Deck. http://www.handa-accessories.com/civic/03civaudio.pdf I was using it so I could correctly dismantle the center panel. Well, I don't know what happened. They must have made a revision to the directions or something, because I totally broke the piece that has the lighter port. The instructions say "Gently pry out on the lower cover to release the retaining clips and tab". Well, I started out trying to gently pry, but it was not budging. So, I tried harder and harder until it came off. Then, I realized that there were no tabs. It was somehow screwed on from the inside. Nothing like what was shown in the picture. So, instead of prying tabs out, I actually broke the plastic things that were attached to screws! I did not continue because I did not want to break anything else (Epically since I just got the car a week and a half ago!) I wanted to see if anyone knew if Honda made a revision of how to take off the center panel to access the radio, or if anyone has done it. Thanks, Joe
