I bought a small 3 port ac unit that I want to install in that useless little storage unit under the climate control. I also plan on installing an iPod cable next to it. I can't seem to figure out how to remove the storage tray (not sure what to call it)... Does the entire trim unit (stereo, climate control) need to be removed to remove the tray? I'm reluctant to force it out. Don't want to break the hinges..

 

While taking some pics, I decided to stick my finger down into one of the hinges and got some wiggle room. So I gently pulled up. The tray came out pretty easy..

Since my wife and I are always fighting for the only cigarette lighter socket, I figured adding 3 to this tray will solve everything, and keep it stealth.

Now, behind it is a plastic backing. Does anyone know what is behind, before I start ripping things apart? I need to drill a hole large enough for the iPod cable and the wiring for the power outlets.. If this will not work the way I plan, it would be good to find out now..
