I'm no where near OC but I installed my own, to get the shifter panel out you have to pull it up sort of towards the rear of the car (hope that made sense). Mine popped out fairly easily. Once you pop that piece out the rest will make sense let me know if you have anymore questions

I followed Kevins guild for my Ipod install and it worked. If you are looking at the front of the shifter cover you can see the tabs. So pull up and back

i got it out but it wasnt easy. i took out the shift boot first and then was able to see the tabs holding it in place. even with screw drivers pushing the tabs it was still very hard to get out. its like the tabs were clipped on so far back it would have been impossible to just pull up. even putting it back was as difficult. i took some pics so ill post them tomorrow. thanks everyone!

Try using a small flat head and cover it up with a towel so it doesnt scratch. Wedge it between the ashtray and shifter panel and it should be easier that way. I also did mine and it was a PITA!
