i've scoured the forums. i even found the manual picture of removing this piece:
pg 20-83 https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90964

it's the piece right above the navi screen anyone have pictures on how they removed it? any extra tools required?

 

I didnt have the HEART to do it yet, I spoke with people who already did it and they say its A REAL PITA......no kiding. I tried with a cloth hanger but didnt succeed. I'll probably go to an acura dealer and ask for a VENT PULLER like they suggest in the manual.

If you succeed PM me on how you did it...

Good luck!

 

Why are you removing the HU ?

 

no tools are needed, just grab the corner with your fngers, and pull. the most that will happen is you'll lose a clip or 2 behind the dash, but that happens with out without the tool

 

at the bottom of the unit, you will see the 2 channels where the silver stips used to be, put a flat screw driver up there and pry up.

 

that's what i'm wondering

 

thank you. finally got it off. im putting in my amp + subs. gonna finish up tonight hopefully

 

cool! be sure to give us a review once done!

 

how did you get it offf finaly ?? tools no tools!!! broken clips!!!

Write a simple DIY so I could try this tonight!

 

FYI: You can add your amp and subs without removing the head unit!

Why are you doing it this way? Are you adding something a little more dramatic?

 

i took everything off using just basic tools. screwdriver and a little flat piece for removing panels. i know some of the manuals show that you have to use a hooked metal rod thing. didnt need it. just yanked and pryed. i didnt break any clips i did this trying to install my sub and amp... and yes i learned the hard way i didnt need to remove my head unit. just ended up tapping in through trunk
