Might be glue, spilled soda, or a dried up latte. Anyway, now that is out I can wire in the power supply to the XM radio.

Thanks for all your help.

Opps.

May have spoke too soon. Looks like we broke the dang thing getting it out. There are a couple of small plastic pieces chunks that fell off. Now you have to press the door a few times to get it to open, and close it a few times before it says closed.


Anyone know what Lexus wants for a new ash tray unit.

ouch! not cheap at all!

wait, what did you pull? you opened up the door and pull the door? man if so that's a big mistake. i said pull the ash tray as a whole @_@ the door is a moving part, it has spring, latches, etc... pulling it at that force will break something easily for sure
