Applies to cars with loudspeaker grilles

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.
