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.

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
