Default How to remove volume **** on '03 and '06 Accords

I'd like to install a new volume **** on my '06 Accord (since it's scratched up) and use the volume **** on my '03 Accord. Does anyone know how to remove the volume **** on these cars and whether the '03 will fit the '06? It appears it should. I prefer the look of the '03 **** since it is chrome rather than cheap paint.

Thanks in advance!

HERE IS HOW! SIMPLE and cheap!:
I talked to 6 dealerships in a major city and they all said that you had to remove the head unit. Then I called a small town Honda dealer who says he was just working on a head unit. They just pop off he says.

Here is how to do it:

Use both hands and put your nails under either side of the "clear" part of the volume ****. Pull FIRMLY, and slowly (but pretty hard!). It will pop right off.

The 06 and 07 versions have crappy grey paint that wears off FAST. I bought the 05 ex version (black with chrome plate). The black chrome plated looks and WEARS the best. 05 was the last year they did chrome.

When you push it on, LINE up EVERYTHING! It's important! Push firmly until it snaps on!

My wife's is an 07. All the Accord 07's have black dashes so I need the **** to be black with just chrome.
I used this 05 part #Honda Part 39103-SDA-A11ZA
Genuine Honda **** ASSY., VOLUME DIAL *TCHROME* (CHROMIUM PLATING)

It's for a 2005 EX accord but it fit my 2007 SE accord AWESOME.

The only thing you need to worry about is honda used two head units. One by Stanley and one by alpine. Check the parts schematic to match yours up with a chrome one from years 03-05
use any parts website like:

My 07 SE matched up with the 05 EX Chrome plated. Just look for stanley or alpine.

bernardi honda walked me through it! Props to them!
