If it is then grab the shift lever surround and pull it up, it should pop out with a little force. On an MT car, unscrew the gear knob; on an auto, you need to pull off the indicator ring around the shifter first. Undo the 2 Philips headed screws at the rear on each side, then lift up the back end of the console surround strip and pull it back towards you, it's held by a couple of clips by the radio / AC units; repeat for the other strip. You can now see 3 Philips screws on each side of the radio unit (one is buried quite deeply); undo these and it will come free. I don't know if the USDM cars use the same stereos as the EU cars (Kenwood), if they do then you have no chance of adding an Aux input as there's nowhere to fit it and there's no Aux mode on the stereo.

I want to add an audio input jack to the radio on a 2005 2.5i OBW but first I need to get it out of the car.
Anyone know how to remove the unit? I can't see any obvious retaining screws etc.
