Here is a great site you should sign up for. It's FREE!

The below info comes from there:

- When prying with a flat-tip screwdriver, wrap it with protective tape, and apply protective tape around the related parts, to prevent damage.
- Put on gloves to protect your hands.
- Take care not to scratch the trim and other parts.

1. Remove the shift lever ****(A).

2. Remove the front console upper cover (A) and disconnect the connector (B).

Bumping to see if I can get these pictures somehow. they're showing up as Red X's for me. I know I've seen them before and they were very helpful but at the time I didn't end up upgrading my radio. To add a little background, I've got a base model 2008 hyundai Tucson that I'm looking to upgrade the radio in so I can plug my iPod right in and play music through it. It's single DIN (I believe) with a tray underneath it. I'd love to leave the tray there as I use it for small things while driving. I've been rolling with an FM Transmitter but I'm travelling more now and the transmitter just isn't cutting it anymore.

Edit: I've checked that HMA website but it's quite technical and I was not able to navigate myself anywhere close to what I was looking for.

 

I can see them now!
