I have been trying to remove the center box , so that I can look at the DVD drive, whether or not I can install another one. I 'm having a hard time removing it. D you have any instructions on removing DVD drive?

Thanks in advance,

Prathab

Thanks so much for your help. I have the same PDF as well. In or oder for me remove the DVD drive, I guess I would need to remove the center box first.

Per the instructions on your PDF, it says remove the screw on the center box upper lid. I don't know where exactly its at? I am looking above the glove box lib and I don't see a screw there. Perhaps, I need to take something else apart, so that I can get to that screw.

As you probably figured by now, I'm a newbie to this type of work. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

PK

G-rated,

Could you give me a couple of steps that you followed for you to remove the center box, when you installed your NAV? I have the same PDF as well. It's not very clear as to what screws need to be removed for the center box to be removed.

Thanks,

PK

Thanks so much for your help. I was able to remove it. I guess in the past, I had all the screws removed but wasn't pulling hard enough. Well, there wasn't much I could do. something is wrong with the drive. Everyone on ebay don't want to sell the drive by itself. They want to sell the whole set.

GET A DOUBLE DIN SCREEN ASAP. That headunit you got there looks ugly in the G and the piece of plastic you used under it to cover the din that you're not using looks cheap.
Good job on installing the OEM navi though.
