How To Remove Dvd Navigation Unit From Mk3 Galaxy

[hotleaduk]

Hi,

 

I bought 4 release keys to remove my Dvd Navingation unit from the dashboard of my 2008 Galaxy.

 

There are 2 slots at the top of the unit which I manage to insert the release keys.

 

I tried to push outwards and pull but to no avail.

 

Does anybody know whether there are 2 slots at the bottom, I can't see anything.

 

Cheers

Finally got Ford dealer to give me the removal detail from their repair manual.

 

You need the 4 correct Ford release keys 2 left handed and right handed ones.

 

Remove the trim directly above the dvd nav unit. It has 3 holes for the three switches and it stretches from the left to the steering wheel.

 

Start from the passenger end use a flat screw driver to prise the trim off. There are 4 or 5 clips on this end and around 3 on the steering wheel end.

 

Once trim is off you can remove two screws from the top of the unit .

 

Prices off the trim surround around the gear shift and which is next to the dvd unit.

 

Remove 2 screws under Dvd unit.

 

On the dvd nav unit the two bottom corners pieces of the unit comes off just by lifting the top edge. This will expose the 2 bottom slots for the release key.

 

Now put in the keys left for left and right for right and pull unit out.

 

Hope this helps others.
