ok so today i did two things:
1. got the center consle off and the area around the shifter
2. ran the rca cable from the rca jacks back to my glovebox
i also ran my interior neon wires directly to the cigarette lighter under the radio (very clean install compared to connecting it to a fuse and grounding it) all u have to do is distinquish your positive and negative wire and then splice into them. then wrap your neon wires around the matching wire. then there are two options......the clean install and the not so clean..clean is to solder the wires and then tape them. not clean is to just tape them.....i chose to solder becauseim very skilled at it so then u wrap each wire and then wrap over the harness to about an inch ont the wires.....replaces stock wire cover.
but anyways lol back to the real topic which pictures will be posted tmrw (to dark now)
tools:
flathead screwdriver or dash removal tool
phillips
drill with unibit
console removal:
now i had a dash removal tool to use but if this is not an option for you then get the flathead and wrap it in a thin towel (not alot of room where it is t be used) now take the screwdriver and use itto pry off the little change/cell phone pocket in back of the shifter.
..it shud pop right off. now pull up from the hole it has made once removed.
now that the main center console hasbee removed lets go for the shifter area.
before doing anything take off the shifterknob (kinda gets in the way of the boot.)
remove the two phillips screw on the back of this piece of the dash
and pull up to release other clips and then backwards to release clips from the end.
voila center console removed.
now for the ipod:
take a rca to 3.5 mm ipod cord and plugit into the inputs ( will show how to hardwire the rcas into the back later i need to learn myself)
now run in throught the loop the cigarette lighter makes with its wires.
then run underneith the bars around the shifter s it will sit under it.
then theres a little opening thats rectangle shaped at the end thats going into the center console feed the cable thru.
then take your drill and unibit and drill a hole into the center glovebox (unibit makes for a cleaner looking drill).
now feed the wire through there and voila u have your ipod cable in your middle glovebox. now just put everthing back and you are done.
upcoming:
underglow install and underglow switch install.
als for underglow switch there is a perfect spot on the center console that has a little clip cover over it
(pic tmrw)
edit: switch area moved
took an extra switch hole out
