Dash Removal

[R1nG@]

Can someone talk me thru getting the centre console dash out please, in order to fit a Dash Mount Bracket.

I managed to get the Sat Nav housing out and the screws underneath that, but the heater control panel WILL NOT SHIFT!!!

I'm gonna break something in a minute!!!!

Please advise, and do I need any 'special' tools??

Cheers guys

You need to pull the heated seat panel/TRC switch panel out and there two more screws under there and then the a/c and radio all lift out together

Cheers Guys.

In my defence, the instructions on the Dashmount website DONT mention removing the TRC Panel!!!

LOC to the rescue again!!!

WITHOUT GPS

Step 1: Unclip the plastic tray on top of the dashboard with a trim tool, starting at the screen side first.

WITH GPS

Step 1: Unclip the plastic trim panel above the air vent assembly CAREFULLY with a trim tool.

Step 2: Remove the two 8mm nuts above the air vent assembly and then the assembly itself.

Step 3: Remove the two 10mm nuts above the heater control assembly and then the assembly itself.

Step 4: Locate the arm of the bracket with the two bolts on the side of the radio unit.

Step 5: Refit the heater unit, bolts and trim panels.

Step 6: Refit the heater control assembly and locate the screws.
