Illustration shows functional support of the
radio in the I-panel.
Cut the functional support of the radio (40) at the
places indicated with a compressed-air saw and
remove the grey area (41) behind.
When sawing with the compressed-air saw
or with the swing saw, vacuum up the chips with
a dust extractor and take care to see that
nothing in the vehicle gets damaged (I-panel,
cable, heater box, etc.). The sequence of the
following work steps must be adhered to
unreservedly.
The figure shows another cut in the radio
module holder on the left-hand side. Repeat this
work on the right-hand side.
Remove the area shaded in grey on the radio
module holder (40) using an oscillating saw.
Dimension A = 6.5mm
As you remove this section ensure that only the
lateral rib (42) on the rear strut (41) is cut to
dimension A.
Mark the parts on the radio module holder (40)
that you wish to remove at the top with
dimensions A and B.
Then cut into the side of the marked points with
an oscillating saw and carefully break off the
sections with a pair of pliers.
Dimension A = 20mm
Dimension B = 7 .5mm
Before fitting the holder for the on-board monitor,
mark the reinforcement (40), the grey shaded
area on the radio module holder (40) with
dimension A and remove it with an oscillating
saw.
Dimension A = 15mm
After removing the reinforcement (40) all the
cuts on the radio module holder (41) are to be
deburred with a file.
