And now we're cruising ..........
THE RADIO:
First remove the center console to gain access for fitting the radio: Begin with the center console's lateral screws BEHIND the seats, open the centre stowage, remove the rubber mat, remove screws (note type of screw), remove the gear stick top, undo the handbrake gaitor's popper, and loosen remaining screws. Because of the wiring you cannot remove the center console completely. Just lift and carefully put to one side. For fitting the radio this is good enough. Make all electrical connections to the radio, fit the radio and refit the center console. (I had to wire in an extra earth cable - to one of the attachments at the rear of the center console). Tests: First ignition on switch, then switch on the radio. Working? Super, otherwise find the error! Finally reassemble everything in the reverse order. |

The (Piezo) tweeters are mounted in small spaces at the front of the dashboard (with covers that look like ventilation grilles). These mouldings can be levered up with a screwdriver, but carefully! Finding the built-in cable for the tweeter again needs a bit of patience. Then connect the tweeters and insert (possibly fix with a setting foam) and replace the little grilles. Finished |
First remove the grille. The loudspeaker grilles in the floor space are fastened with small plastic pins. The removal trick; take a pointed screwdriver and depress the center approx. 1 mm (no more, otherwise the pin falls irrecoverably into the vehicle body) then remove the entire pin.
