I believe there is a part missing in my console where it meets underneath of the hvac/radio dash trim. If you look to the right of the lighter, there is a pocket that i can stick my hand in (easily) and feel the wires and the back of the hvac control unit and stereo... anyone have any pics or diagrams?

Nope no piece missing its just a pocket for storage

 

ok thanks! even more of a surprise was when i put the new liscens plate on. Theres a big old hole under them to access the trunk...

 

On mine it has a compartment that slides in there to hold your cd's etc...or remove it to access things under the dash like you mentioned . radio, wires etc....and when your threw you put it back in!
