Does anyone know how to remove this panel?

[kenpappas]

I am installed the Aux Port and want to wire it next to the right seat heater control on this panel. Can you advise how to pop it out.

You would have to remove the console to get to it.

@Jeff,
The entire console? Not even sure where to begin on that suggestion.

i cant see the picture, but if the part you are trying to remove is the actual seat heater control panel, with the DSC button, then get some windoweld or dum dum, and use that to pop the panel off.

Isn't Windoweld a sealant? Has anyone removed or poped this out? I can't believe nobody has yet.

Using the flat head screw driver...For the DSC / heating panel you need to start where the red line....
See pic below and do the same for other side..

This is where you and other members got stuck at can't remove the console without unpluging the connectors in the back of it.

Thanks, So I have to remvoe the heater control unit to get to the DSC panel or can I just remove the DSC panel and snake the Aux cable up to the Nav unit?

Just remove the heat/AC panel will give you more room to do the work and snake the wires up there..while you have the heater unit out it's much easier to remove the DSC panel by pushing it out from the back..

I think placing the aux port next to the passengers seat heater switch to be the best location. I thought about glove box. Not practical since you can reach it while driving. Thought about ashtray area but I am saving that for something else if I can. I have seen a picture of an aux port exactly where I want it but can't locate the dude that has done that.
