    A plastic USB stick broke in the USB socket and now I cannot get it out. How hard would it be to replace that whole USB/Aux socket unit located in the center compartment (between the 2 front seats)?
    Can I order the part? Would a local car stereo shop be able to do the repair?

    If you can get the assembly out of there, it might be easier to remove the broken part from the socket. A pair of tweezers might be the right tool. The assembly itself should be readily available at your dealer.

    I've tried nose pliers. No luck. Will call the dealer to see if they have the USB/Aux connector available.
