Hi all, does the central tops dash vent just pop out? Is there any special technique it remove it? I have just got my hands on some of these screens and want to mimic the install.

Thanks for any help.

The best way to remove it is with a plastic trim removal tool. You can get a set cheaply from eBay. If you use a screwdriver you can mark the trim. The vent is attached to the tube bit but that just pulls off once the the vent is released

Thanks,

I have been working on this this weekend. Making the cover plate takes some time, I covered with some leather in the end to make it look as neat as possible.

The aux cable is a pain… I didn’t realise it was in the back panel… I have ordered longer cable from Amazon and will run that I the future.

I think dropping it in to the vent area make it look very factory, I would like to neaten the front edge up but you can’t have everything for just over £50.

Yeah the aux is a pain... I've actually ordered some inline Aux amplifier and a voltage regulator and *eventually* planning on modifying the loom so it's all hidden...

So far it's holding up and working well.

Post up some pics please !!

Yes, the long aux cable is a pain. But it is easy to hide on its run to the back. It can go behind the trim in the footwell and then you can push it under the tunnel trim. There is a post on here somewhere describing how to hide the aux connection at the back. I must admit I haven’t bothered.
My plastic panel matches the top of the dash very well ( by sheer fluke) but I would be interested in seeing your leather job.
Picture please!
