I searched around but could not find instructions on how to remove the USB/AUX port assembly. I just hope that I don't have to disassemble the whole dashboard. here is the part number for reference: 86190-60040 - ADAPTER ASSY, STEREO JACK, NO.1
you do - it's screwed in underneath. remove leather on each side (start by vents and pry out). Remove ash-tray assembly. Remove hand brake cover. Remove cup holder, and disconnect connectors underneath (the big gray one is a pain). Then pry from cool box forward slowly, disconnecting along the way. It's a pain in the butt.
