Thanks heaps for the help guys. Thought I'd do a little follow up.
The reason i wanted to take out the part was so that i could route the ipod cable from the glove box there and put and iphone dock where that was. Had a look on ebay and found one. When i measured up the specifications it was almost an exact fit, the dock just being a little bigger than the coin bin thingy lol. So heres what i got:
Its a pretty snug fit, didnt have to use any glue as its held in tightly by the plastic. Might add some blue tack or something for safety lol.I was going to drill a hole in the little plate, but i actually dont mind it that much.
The USB iPod connectivity in the lancer however is pretty much a sack of shit lol. When i plug it in it gets stuck on the 'iPod load' screen for anywhere between 5-15 mins and when it actually does start playing, when i select a song it plays a completely different song. So right now im streaming my music over bluetooth and using the dock for charging purposes. Anyone else have this problem? I did some research and i think the problem is possibly because i have a large music library (20gb+) and it takes teh car time etc to process it, which i understand, but is pretty gay at the same time.
EDIT: I thought i was a genius for thinking of this, but as i was going through tadzors thread i saw he had basically done the same thing haha
