I would like to install an AUX port on my 05 Malibu classic so I can use my MP3 player in the car without having to use a FM transmitter. What is the best way to take off the front surrounding panel that stretches from the radio to the ignition? Every time I go to try and pull it off I feel like I am going to break it.

After I get that off, what would be my best option for adding a port that lets me use an MP3 player? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
