tux Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 Anyone know how to remove it easily? I want to avoid breaking anything and removing things that i don't need to FSM isn't terribly helpful for this. I'm not going to use the lighter and I'd like to replace it with a button.

TexasQuest Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 You might have to get behind it and unclip it from the dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tux Posted April 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 Ya... Possibly radio. Ashtray hole is too small to get my hand in... I'll probably have to spend an afternoon or day figuring out how to get to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Yes, a nut on the back of it. I never tried to remove one with the dash in the car. I think techboy recently swapped his out for a USB plug. May want to shoot him a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psu_Crash Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 I just reached up underneath and unplugged it. Then the nut came right off. I may have had the radio bezel out though, it's been years. Replaced mine with an aftermarket socket because I had 12V plugs that didn't work well with it. Putting in a USB plug is a GREAT idea! Why didn't I think of that ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tux Posted April 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Yeah, USB is definitely a good idea. I'm thinking to put a button there for my air cups. That or get Bluetooth controlled relays and use an app on my phone or headunit to activate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy there fancy boy! Air cups and BT control? Sounds pretty freaking cool to me. Stand outside at the show and make her dance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
