This is such a n00b question but I couldn't get the explanation I was looking for with search. On my Maxima the center vent/buttons/clock is pushed slightly down and pulled out, kind of a technique that is easy as pie every time AFTER the first time.

I was wondering how the center vent assembly came out of the I30 dash and what tabs I needed to be aware of snapping and things of that nature. I think I may replace/update the Bose on this car so just wanted to get some pointers before getting into that. Thanks!

 

I went ahead and pulled this from the FSM I got tonight.
