Tools Required
Head unit removal tools
T20 torx bit/screw driver
Small flat blade Screwdriver
Step 1
Remove the head unit and cage from the console, using the appropriate removal tools for your
particular type/make.

Note:
Note: Removing the glove box enables you to get to the wiring at the rear of the head unit if
required this is easy enough to do, by removing the six T20 screws: 3 along the top edge
edge and 3
along the bottom, and lift
lift out the glove box, taking care to disconnect the glove box light whilst
doing so.

Next remove the lower storage compartment,


photo right, which is retained by four flaps (2 top
& 2 bottom).
If youve got the 4 slot CD holder, its easier to
leave that in place and remove it once the
console is out, if needed.

Step 2
Open the ashtray and remove the plastic
surround on the cigarette lighter
it just levers off with a small screwdriver

Then pull down the metal pop up flap, and


remove the 2 outermost torx screws now visible
along the top edge of the ashtray

Then remove the two remaining torx screws to


either side of the head unit slot (photo below
right).

With all the screws out the centre console, all


that remains is to release the clip right at the top
centre of the console (it just pulls off) and the
console can now be moved outwards by a couple
of inches.

Step 3
Next step is to remove the heater control box from the console panel
its held on by 4 spring clips (2 on the top face and 2 on the bottom).
They are quite strong and youll need to lever them up with a small
screwdriver, just enough to be able to push the control back with your
thumb, and then wedge the clip open with a nail or similar.
Its best to concentrate on one side first, and once thats released, do
the other side. Once youve done all 4, the box will just push out.
Note: Be careful not to put too much strain the heater box, as it can
dislodge the control cables from the rear.
Step 4
With the heater control box released, disconnect the loom from
the MFD. Theres a mouse trap type locking clip on it, and all you
need to do is push down on the red arrowed area, and move the
hinged part down so it lies flat along the back of the MFD the
connector can now be removed.
And then slide off the connector from the rear of the hazard
warning switch.
The centre console can now be removed from the dashboard.
If you are
are swapping over consoles, youll
youll need to undo the two torx screws on the MFD and unclip
the central air vents from the back of the console.
Refitting is simply a reverse of the removal procedure.
