Hello,

I just purchased a DICE R4 I-honda ipod link. I used that guide to get me through; however, I have navigation and the harnesses are unfortunately not accessible from the bottom of the radio. Does anyone have a guide for getting the radio out? I assume this is my only choice, unless the harness can be disconnected another way. Thanks

Hmm...I can't get the upper console taken out. If I try to pull the radio forward with the center clip down using my screw driver (don't have the tool), the vinyl starts to push out and lookslike it will break. Am I supposed to do all three clips at once? I can't see how to get one without having the other two out. Thanks

Use a wire coat hanger to simulate their hook tool and only release one side to start with while pushing down with the screwdriver to release the center tab. Pull the hook straight out towards you, not up. Once the clip releases on one side, you can use your fingers to pull the other side. The panel pulls forward slightly, then up to release the clips towards the windshield. Pull gently but firmly so you don't yank the hanger out and scratch the panel.
