I just got a set (5) of those plastic tools at Harbor Freight a couple weeks ago. On sale for $5 - regular price $10.

thanks for giving us the link. this might come in handy one day. need to get me a set.
That looked like a regular socket on a 6 or 8 inch extension. A nut driver set might be handy.

Here is a post from Lexs350 who installed it on the 2IS. might be helpful. Credit goes to Lexs350 for the notes on where to plug in everything.
Hi gang,
I received and installed my NAV HACK bypass harnesses today. But it did come with some headaches.
I like to give a "SHOUT OUT" to Eric from Beat Sonic. I bother the poor guy for any and all questions. He not only answered every concerns I had but was also very Proffesional.
Below is some pic's to help those like me to make the install a bit easier.
The key thing to remember is to install the two new harnesses together (for those w/ML)
and be careful not to pull back on the NAV unit to far. I broke a wire and had to get it repaired. Another shout out to John from PERFORMANCE AUDIO. He was able to repair the DVD audio cable for me. I attempted to go through the dealer but they said something about changing out the entire Harness. Right.....very disappointed with my local dealer. Anyway see photo's below-hope it is helpful. Forgive me for the mispelled words....been a long day.
Don't forget to remove the negative battary cable before starting any work on vehicle
I used the following tools to perform this task.
1 Putty knife-blade covered with tape to remove silver trim on each side of the shift lever and help pry the upper vent out of the dash.
2. Jewel's screw driver to rotate upper vent tabs to the down position and to help remove the needed wire connector's back of NAV/DVD system.
3. 10mm socket with driver to remove the four bolts holding the NAV/DVD unit and to remove the negative battary cable
4. 8mm socket with driver to remove the ash tray trim assy.
5. phillips screw driver to remove plastic piece above the pedals that holds the foot well light assy.
6. flexible wire gabber to pull wires through.
7. small pillow to cover the shift lever to help not scratch the NAV/DVD unit.
