- Driver's Outer Vent Remove the driver's outer vent (A). If necessary, remove the duct (A).
- Dashboard Center Pocket Remove the screws (A). Remove the dashboard center pocket (A).
- Audio Unit Assembly (With display audio) NOTE: Lay a workshop towel under the parts when working on them to protect the face panel from scratches or other damage. Do not work in a dusty or dirty place. Discharge static electricity from your body before and during the work. Do not touch the circuit board(s) with your bare hands. Do not work with dirty hands. Do not touch the terminal connector of the flat plate cable with your bare hands (If you have touched it, wipe it off thoroughly.). Eject the CD before disconnecting the audio unit to prevent damaging the CD player's load mechanism. If you are replacing the audio unit, write down the audio presets (if possible), and enter them into the new audio unit. Remove the bolts (A). Disconnect the connectors, then pull out the audio unit assembly (A).
- Audio-Navigation Unit Assembly NOTE: Lay a workshop towel under the parts when working on them to protect the face panel from scratches or other damage. Do not work in a dusty or dirty place. Discharge static electricity from your body before and during the work. Do not touch the circuit board(s) with your bare hands. Do not work with dirty hands. Do not touch the terminal connector of the flat plate cable with your bare hands (If you have touched it, wipe it off thoroughly.). Eject the disc before disconnecting the audio-navigation unit to prevent damaging the CD player's load mechanism. If you are replacing the audio-navigation unit, write down the audio presets (if possible), and enter them into the new audio-navigation unit. When the audio-navigation unit is replaced or disconnected, do the Map Matching. This part of the initialization matches the GPS coordinates with a road on the map screen. To do this part of the procedure, make sure that the navigation system displays a map, and drive the vehicle on a mapped road shown on the map screen. Do not enter a destination at this time. When the name of the current road you are driving on appears at the bottom of the screen, the entire procedure is complete. Remove the bolts (A). Disconnect the connectors, then pull out the audio-navigation unit assembly (A).
