got ya
had the same problem a while back pullin out an ipod adapter. just came right out with it. unfortunately you have to remove the entire bottom side of the dash, as some of the screws for the mid section were located behind other parts. i started with the side panel inside the drivers door, then underneath the steering wheel. then around the glove compartment. once you have those off, the screw for the center section will be exposed, undo those, re tighten it, and then reassemble. good luck

Remove the panel and simply screw the ring back on to the back of the outlet. You can use a tiny bit of thread lock to keep it from happening again.
