Default Pick you need to take out your center vents (for Nav Hack/VAIS install)

Here's a "90-degree" pick similar to the one I used for my mods...Just an FYI, in case you need a tool for pulling out your center vents easily. This makes it really easy. Remember to tape up the tip with electrical tape so as not to scratch anything.

The link does not work so do a search at http://www.homedepot.com for the following:

HUSKY
Cotter Pin Extractor (<---just search on these words and it will show up)
Model 74368

where do you hook that to? The side or the tops of the vents? All the way back by the ducts?

On this picture, it is the far left clip and far right clip (two outer pink arrows). Just make sure the vent clips are "clicked" down, and then place the tip of the pick up in front of the clip and just pull.

I suppose you can pull in all 4 vent clip areas...just using the two outer ones worked for me, though...
