Remove media outlet door??

[Climbhigh]

Anyone know how to remove the media outlet door (without breaking it)?

I rather have the ports exposed completely, than to have the door sticking out.

I looked at this as well. If you look at the far sides of the cover where it hinges at the top there are openings. I imagine there is a rod in there keeping it in place. I would think a punch would do the trick. Think of an AR’s dust cover.

I agree with you. It’s a nuisance, constantly drops down.

Does State Farm cover that removal?

No, but Farmer's covered the great Media Door catastrophe of 2019. I think it had to do with a bald guy, a squirrel and a razor taped to a golf club. Bum ba dum bum, bum, bum ,bum...

Good question. Ask State Farm or Geico or Allstate. And boy oh boy did I ever screw up when I created Jake as a forum name. It ain’t my real name, no kidding.

Looks like a pin hinge to me too. That small, you could probably use a sewing needle to get it started and then needle nose pliers the rest of the way. May have to have the door open to access the end of the pin inside
OR, it may be like the retaining pin on a watch band. Little bitty screwdriver in the slot just right of center as push pin towards center.
Let us know if you figure it out. Might do that myself

Pushing it through doesn't seem to work...tapping on finishing nail with a chisel handle.

Also tried sticking a utility blade in to do the whole watch band thing..

Obviously I'm not the only one who has always done their own watch bands -( or those of their wife)
I found a whole band-aid tin box full of watch band parts the other day I had forgotten I had.
Does that truly go clear through, or is it like some hinges and pivots of the past where it's simply pins in a recess and you have to push the recess back, or the pins are in tabs you flex back?

Pretty sure the pin doesn't go through the whole center. I think the holes (on each side) are there just to push the pins in, and therefore the have to be worked back out some how.

I took a different way. Almost shuts all the way.

I have been using the port inside the console and run the cable out through the little indentation that goes to passenger side. Works well when a rear seat passenger needs to play music too. But I do like the idea of that 90 degree end cable.

Now that looks cool. Looks like an almost perfect solution. Where did you get that cable from? Does it plug into an I-Phone? Love to know. Thanks

I just use the port in the center council.
