The guts of an '04 JBL 6 disc

4 side screws and some snaps to get the face off...
Many tiny screws (very tight) to get the guts out of the face...
below the white rubber are the touch pads that make the buttons work and all the little LEDs. Most buttons have 2. There are light guides for the knobs as well.
Here you can see that the plasic face will not swap with the '07 with some major plastic work. You'd have to swap out everything below the LCD display to get buttons matching. Since the face is all one mold (I was hoping that section was separate) you'd have to cut out both and fit together one good face. There are the chrome colored verticals on either side so you might be able to hide some hacking there. (They pop out) But the LCD area would be near impossible to cut into nicely.
So I'll live with a slight texture mismatch so I can play MP3s.
