I have an '05 tC and it has one 12 volt socket in the center console under the armrest and I need help on removing the entire assembly so there is just a hole there....

I'm removing it so I can run my ipod connector in there....

This 12 volt socket....



Sorry for quality...taken with iphone

Thanks

 

i think you pretty much got it out, which part do you need help with? that thing should be easy to take out since you got everything out

 

x2?

What needs to come out? You might have to push it into the console, cut the wire...IDK...

 

I need the actual metal piece to come out so I can fit a USB through.... I've tried pushing it through both ways but there are little tabs.... I'm trying to cut them off right now.... just seeing if someone has done this and can tell me how to remove the metal peice that you would insert like a car charger for a phone...

 

I would just cut it, I had to deal with the little tab on the one near the cubby, I just really mutilated it until it came out...

 

So basically just keep cutting on the tab until its shaved down smooth I guess???


To others.. Im trying to get this little metal "bucket" shaped 12 volt socket(I guess) removed

 

idk, be creative

 

lol... actually I think its almost out lol...

Should have tried more things before asking for help... anyways, I think I got it...

Thanks

 

lol, thats what we are here for, its no problem

 

TADA!!!!!








Mods please LOCK[/u]

 

Yay!

 

lol... Thanks again

 

I just drilled a hole directly under the ACC socket, put a grommet in it, and ran the iPod cable through that. Giving up a place for the cellphone charger to run an iPod cable seems kinda overkill.

 

dude...just drill a hole............you could have been done already and not scratched the crap outta the inside of your console.

 

i have an iphone so it charges

To the other guy about scratches, I know I scratched the hell out of it but I didn't know what i was doing because I tried to do it with it still in the car and it was dark and all I had was a flashlight for light...

But oh well, I'm the only one that looks in there....
