Sorry for the new thread, however, I'm having a hard time trying to find the answers I'm looking for.

I have an 07/auto/grand touring, and recently got a garmin nuvi as a gift. I would like to install this garmin unit in the center console, however, I have a question about how to remove the center console.

I have found in another thread two ".pdf"'s which describe how to remove the A/T ring, however, it refers to a document called "SRS-40, Removal And Installation"... also, when looking at the picture, it shows the selector lever to be in the drive position. How, when the car is off, would I put it in "drive"? Also, do I even need to move the lever into drive, or can I simply begin the process by "popping" the silver A/T ring out with a screwdriver?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

 

if u wanna put it in drive with the car off and no key in the ignition pull up your e brake take ur key pup out the lil semi circle looking thing then put the key in the hole push down and move the shifter to drive.

 

Thanks R350Zz33... I'll ask one more question... do I need to unplug the battery when diconnecting the stereo? I'm not sure how the Z is wired up, and don't want to some how screw something up by disconnecting the AC and Stereo with the battery still connected...

 

I would recommend unplugging the battery, personally. I do it even when I'm changing out intakes - it's just precaution.

Btw, let me know how annoying it is to take out the ring on your AT. Mine is a royal *****, and I'm too scared to break its clips so I backed off on pulling it up. Can you link me to the PDFs you found here? I'm going to replace my HU shortly.

 

Haha taking out the center ring is a pain.. I wanted to install a HU myself when I first got the Z. I didnt want to break the clips either so I took it to someone I trusted and they got it out fine.

 

yes deff un-hook the battery.

i was to lazy to take the center console apart when i installed switches for a few things i hooked up the switches my friend made me a custom switch plate that goes where the blank is but anyways i just kinda stuffed my hand up there and fished around with the wires i will never try that again i had so many scratches and cuts lol

 

i also have my gps in my cubby hole i ran the wire behind the dash and it plugs in to the 12v in the passenger. looks so stealthy

 

pull the chrome piece down and then the snap ring is in the front. use a small screw driver and pull it out. **** comes right off then

 

Hey Arnold,

Here is the link that I found the .pdf's in... hope it helps!
