I know, I can see that, those dogs and their fricking iPods, can't live with them, can't live without them. And lest we forget that they have to go with you everywhere you go because they ARE the alarm system for the EX with the broken lock and all...

Do you have a trophy / awards shop close by? They typically have a much better selection of small screws and bolts than your standard hardware store.

Installed tow mirrors (power and heat) from a 2005. Took my 2000 Paddle non heat (power) mirrors and now I can see my blind spot!!! Didn't wire it up yet cause I can't find the wiring diagram =(. So I adjusted it manually for now. Big difference it makes. I want the one with the turn signal so bad.

Marina Auto Stereo? Kartunes?

Next time you're down here in my neighborhood, PM first and if I have time, we can meet up for coffee or something.

Flip over the laptop computer you are on and pull out a couple of the "extra" screws holding it together.

Any old laptop or other computer or even just a component to a computer should have a few tapered black machine screws.

LOL...I think the problem will be the length. That part of the dash panel is thicker than you'd suspect, then you have the black mounting piece.

What you CAN'T see is that the stereo has a 'female' pigtail...a wire coming out that just ends in a female USB cord (with plastic surrounding the metal - not bare). That slips into a cradle that you screw to the dash, letting you easily remove the USB cable if you need to take the stereo out (how often do we REALLY do that, anyway?).

SO...they need to be rather long for how small they are...
