Assembling the holder

Note! Take care when handling the components, they are fragile and are easily damaged.




- Take the three screws M5x25 part no. 986957 and nuts from the kit.
- To prevent too great resistance when the nut for the holder is tightened, hold the screw and screw the nut on and off the threaded part of the screw. Carry this out on all screws and nuts.




- Take special tool 9814104 (torx driver, torx 6), and unscrew the two screws holding the connector in the holder.
- Carefully push the connector to one side with the cable to expose the bottom of the holder.




- Take the kit with the four spacers from the installation kit.
- Carefully pry off the spacer using P/N 31212784. The part number (1) is on the bottom of the spacer.




- Take the three screws and insert them in the spacer fully.




- Apply pieces of butyl tape to the screws so that the screw heads do not protrude outside the spacer when installing it.




- Install the spacer in the bottom of the holder. Ensure that the holder's two screw turrets align between the small pins in the oblong holes in the spacer.




- A click should be heard when the spacer is securely in position.





Place the connector in the bottom of the holder so that:
- the guide hole (1) in the connector's circuit board aligns in the corresponding pin at the bottom of the holder
- the holes (2) in the circuit board are over the holder's screw turret.




- Take the small torx screws and carefully tighten the connector to the holder. Ensure that the connector's circuit board is properly against the screw turret and that there is no play.
- Remove the butyl tape from the screws.

Preparations

- Remove the ventilation outlet by carefully inserting special tool 9995919 between the ribs and carefully pulling up the four catches on the lower edge. Carefully pry using a weatherstrip tool.

Note! Pay particular care to the dashboard and the outlet ribs. These can easily be damaged. The outlet is mounted very firmly.




- Unplug the connector for the warning flashers and move the unit aside.




- Open the glovebox.
- Carefully pry off the panel inside the center console. Use a plastic weatherstrip tool. The panel is secured by two clips on each of the short sides.
- Pull the panel away downwards.




- Remove the rubber mat and storage compartment.




Loosen the rim around the display and the media player as follows:
- Press in the lock catch on the edge of the media player's tray with a small screwdriver. Carefully pry out one corner using a plastic weatherstrip tool.

Note! Do not damage the panel and dashboard.

- Repeat the operation on the other side.

Hint: If the other side does not detach, press the detached side into position again and repeat the procedure, beginning from the other side.

- Fold the surround backwards. Remove by pulling upwards.

- Loosen the gearshift knob from the shift by pressing down the knob and turning it slight more than a 1/4 turn anticlockwise and pull it up.





Applies to all models
- Remove the two screws.




- Remove the rear seat cushion by first pressing the outer edges of the cushion backwards and then by pulling them upwards so that the outer hooks release.




- Lift the cushion straight up in the middle so that the inner hooks release.




- Remove the rear cup holder from the rear tunnel compartment by prying at the leading edge and pressing in the catches, first at the leading edge and then on the sides.




- Remove the screws.




- Remove the rear tunnel compartment by pulling it upward (1) rearward (2) so that it releases from its catches.

- Carefully pull up the lock catch with special tool 9995919. At the same time, slide the whole tunnel console backward so that the two rear screws in the center console's panel can be accessed.




- Remove the two screws.




- Remove the two screws holding the center console's panel to the dashboard.
- Remove the connector at the rear of the climate panel: Put the panel to one side.




- Remove the two clips securing the cables to the media player by first pressing them to the sides and then pulling them away downwards.

Note! Make sure that the optic cables are not bent or stretched. They may not be bent with a radius less than 25 mm (1").




- Remove the two screws from the bottom of the media player.
- Pull out the media player and detach the connectors on the rear side.




- Cover the opening to the air ducts with paper to avoid chips filling into these.
- Spread out a piece of paper inside the dashboard to catch the drill chips.
- Choose LHD or RHD on the drilling template and mark the holes in the center using a scriber.
- Select a -5 mm (13/64") drill bit. Fit a 15 mm (19/32") drill stop.
- Predrill the holes according to the template. Drill square to the dashboard where the holes are to be positioned.

Note! Do not damage the dashboard.

Illustration A




- Select a-14 mm (9/16") hole saw.
- Swap the central drill bit in the hole saw for a -5 mm (13/64") drill bit. The hole in the holder is larger than the diameter of the drill bit. Wrap tape around the end of the drill bit to make sure it sits firmly in place in the hole. Do not lock the central drill bit with the lock screw. The drill bit must only be used for guiding the hole saw because the holes in the dashboard's lower part cannot be larger than -5 mm (13/64").

Illustration B




- Fit a 9 mm (23/64") drill stop.
- Drill out for the cradle's three feet.

Note! Only drill through the vinyl layer and foam layer, not through the plastic layer (1) on the lower part of the dashboard as this will make the hole too large for the nuts that are to be tightened from underneath.




- Select a -25 mm (1/2") hole saw.
- Change the center drill in the hole saw back to the original drill bit.
- Drill for the connection of the connector. Drill through all layers of the dashboard. Use a 25 mm (1")drill stop.

Note! Do not damage the dashboard.




- Use a small screwdriver and clear the three small holes from any chips so that the underlying plastic layer appears.
- Remove the paper from the air ducts and the paper from under the dashboard. Make sure no chips are left inside the dashboard.

Installation




- Take out the cradle and insert the three stud bolts down through the holes in the dashboard's plastic layer.




- Take out the three nuts from the kit and tighten the cradle.

- Lift up the tunnel console and pull it back slightly.
- Unplug the big gray connector at the front.




- Lift out the center console.

Note! Protect hand brake and gear lever when removing and installing the tunnel console.




- Unplug the connector from the 12V socket.




The new cable is routed in the same way on both left and right-hand drive cars, on the right-hand side of the tunnel console and center console up to the area for the ventilation nozzles.
- Place the tunnel console upside down on a surface that will not damage it.
- Remove the new cable harness from the kit and connect the 12V outlet's black male connector (1) to the equivalent white female connector (2) on the routed adapter cable.
- Connect the remaining adapter cable's white male connector to the 12V outlet.




- Secure the fuse holder and connector with butyl tape on the front edge of the storage compartment.




- Clamp in the cable harness along the existing cable harness using three tie straps.





Note! Protect the hand brake and the gear shift when fitting the tunnel console.
