Ok piloteers...y'all helped me so much with the suggestions and now that it's finally fixed I'm gonna start other projects...on the chopping block today is the air vents just below the radio...I know that in order to fix them I had to order the middle part of the dash...so now my question is how in tarnation do I take the middle dash apart.

IMO, the videos on the GTA Car Kit sites are the best at showing that how-to.

Thank you for that video, bit I've seen it already and unfortunately it's not the correct vehicle...

C'mon fatdog, lets add the model year of your girlfriends Pilot to your profile. 2004....

I googled 2004 and its really not much different........

Its also explained in multiple threads in the Radio section of this forum.

Please, everybody, as @Rocky recommends, add your model year to your profile or signature. It helps us help you.

That said, the same video is in the GTA Car Kit section for a 2003-2005, so it should be quite similar.

In order for me to fix the broken air vents I have to replace the whole middle part of the dash on the passenger side...I tried uploading a video bit it didn't let me...

That sucks you have to replace the entire panel. This sorta shows what holds that panel in place.

Yeah it does but I already bought the part and surprisingly it wasn't that expensive...now just gotta wait for it to get here so I can figure out how to remove it...​

Looks like an LX from the looks of your HVAC system. Anyway, try using the video I posted as your guide. Things go fine when you do them in the order shown, Worked fine for me when I installed my GTA Car Kit a few years ago, and I'll be using the same approach when replacing a few recently burned out climate control lights soon.

 

[Thefatdog1]

Yeah I'm thinking it's an LX, at least that's what I read written in the owners manual...I did order the part, found it on a oem honda website...and I also found one on eBay and was able to see the back side and from what it looks like it's just snapped in and no bolts or screws hold it in...thank you everyone for all the help...as my projects get done I'll post pix...again, thank you everyone...

That is the LX version.
Upload video to You tube and post link.

Radio stack removal is pretty much identical. Good luck!
