This is my first attempt at taking apart the dash to get behind the radio of my G. Everything was flowing smoothly until I got to the base console around the shifter. I can lift it up and get the rear portion up but the front area doesn't seem to detach. Worse yet, when I forced it, it damaged the console aluminum. It looks like it is still attached somewhere but I don't know where.



Look closely and you can see the damage from trying to pull the piece.


Please help my baby is in pieces but I really want to get my ipod connected to my headunit.

 

did you have it in neutral or in drive? it looks liek you didn't that is why it is preventing you from pulling up. let us know how it works out.

 

Dude you rock! Its funny how the little details make such a difference. That was it. Car must be in neutral.

 

Thanks very much

 

glad it worked for you! take care

 

would you happen to know the part number for your shift ****? Im looking to upgrade my 03 shifter to the newer one but i cant seem to find it on infiniti-parts thanks

 

No sorry bud. I don't know it off hand.

 

Time to trade it in. j/k

When you say infiniti-parts do you mean infiniti parts.com or the parts department at your local infiniti dealership? If you meant the .com, then I would call your local parts department.
