- Change the centre 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.





- Take out the short connection cable from the kit and secure the connector to the bottom of the cradle.





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





- Lift out the centre 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 centre 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.

- Push the tunnel console down into position. However, do not push it forward into position.
- Route the cable harness from the 12V outlet on the right-hand side of the tunnel console's front edge.





- Connect the large grey connectors to each other at the front of the tunnel console.






- Insert a wire spiral from the outlet where the air outlet was located and down to the right-hand side of the tunnel console.
- Tape the connector and a piece of the cable harness to the wire spiral.
- Carefully pull the cable harness up through the hole for the air outlet.

Note! Route the cable harness so there is no risk of it wearing through.





- Connect the cable from the cradle to the newly routed cable.
- Secure the two green connectors using a piece of butyl tape in a suitable place to prevent rattling.
- Pull down all surplus cable and conceal under the floor mat.

Finishing work




- Connect the cable to the warning flashers.






Note! Make sure the cable to the cradle is not pinched.

Assembling the holder

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




- Take the three screws M5x20 part no. 986956 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 31212525. 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




- Turn the ignition switch to position 0.
- Disconnect the battery negative lead.

Note! Wait at least three minutes before unplugging the connectors or removing other electrical equipment.





- 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.
