***For Future Reference***
I finally had a chance to pull out the USB plug section. To my satisfaction, the part was extremely easy to remove (Time ~2 minutes.)

Simply take a bone tool/ trim remover tool and pry around the entire section. You can use a flat head, but be very careful because it will scratch the plastic. The whole piece with the Aux In/USB and the cigarette lighter pops out. Undue three cables and you have the entire thing in your hand.



On the back side of the USB section, you will notice two metal clips. Simply push in the clips and push the USB part forward through the housing. While I wait for a replacement, I actually hooked up the cigarette lighter and put the housing back in.

Here is what I found.
Part #: 61319129651


The Aux in and USB port are in the same housing and I plan to break it apart to see if just the USB port can be swapped out.

I found this picture on the internet showing the housing pulled apart.


Here is the whole assembly together:


The plugs pop off the back, so those cables should not be necessary.

*****After further searching this part number was apparently superseded by 84109237653.
