I searched and read all threads and cannot figure out how to get the plastic cubby out of the dash. All I found so far are the two screws under the rubber mat inside the cubby.

How do I get the whole thing out so I can install the Faranheit from behind?

It's a 2003 cubby in a 2003 car btw.

Thanks.

 

You need to start behind the shifter and work your way forward.

The ring around the shifter comes off. Just pulls up on the auto.

Then the plate that contains the AC controls - pull up from the crack exposed by the shifter's ring.

Disconnect the white ribbon cable.

There's two screws on either side of the white box behind where the AC controls were.

I think that's it ... ?

 

thank you. I didnt know i had to take all that off.

 

OK, 1 more question. I got all the job done except for the red and black wire coming from the farenheit. Anywhere in particular those should be connected?

 

The screen's red wire connects to the ignition controlled ACC wire. That ought to be a blue with green stripe wire running to the back of the radio. The screen's black wire is grounded.

 

Thank you very much.
