Has anyone taken pictures of a console being taken apart? Could someone please post pictures of a console being taken apart, or at least instructions? Or maybe scans from a Helms manual? I don't want to hurt my baby, but I don't think I can wait for the Helms manual to arrive!


Two reasons I want to take apart my console:

1) My Ericsson T610 fits perfectly in the bin under the radio when it is on it's side. I want to install a charger plug in the front (as in front of the car) of that bin so that when the phone slides in along the right side of the bin, it will slide onto the charger plug. I just need to know how to take apart the dashboard/console to get access to the back of the radio/bins so that I can run 12v DC to the plug I would install there.

2) I want to install an aux audio tap from Blitzsafe, and from what I understand, this requires accessing the rear of the radio unit.

I tried calling Helms to get a manual a few days ago and they said they were out of them, but expect to have them in within 45 business days. They said they would send me a postcard when they get it in.

I ran a search and all I could find was someone else asking the same question a few months ago, and it was mostly answered with "RTF Helms M".

Thanks for reading, and I hope someone can help.

Have you seen this thread http://www.acura-tl.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90964

 

Re: your phone, you can drag the power cord for your phone from the center console just enough to keep your phone on the cup holder with the lid closed.

 

Thanks, Novice, for the suggestion. I have been doing that so far, but the SE T610 would fit so perfectly in the upper console bin that I would rather do that. Also, then I can clear up space in the armrest buckets to make room for all the panties girls throw in my car.

Ron A: I was reading that thread just before I saw that you had suggested it. It seems to be almost exactly what I was looking for, but it may be just a page short. I'll take a closer look at them tomorrow morning when my mind is clear.


I'm still hoping someone who has taken their console apart before will step up and offer some tips and tricks (or better yet, step-by-step instructions).
