Screws drilled out and stock cd player has been removed (undamaged :D ). Tonight the aftermarket cd player will be installed and the tablet will be test fitted in it's new home. After deciding on installing the tablet behind the face plate that will be cut from the hard board rather that in front of it I think the soldered aux out cable will be removed. It is causing an issue with the main board not mounting correctly to the tablet housing, and the hardware buttons are not lining up correctly. A standard cable running from the headphone jack to the aux in on the aftermarket cd player will be used as it will all be hidden behind the face plate.
