    • Use a flat-head screwdriver if needed to assist in removing clips.
  2. Unscrew the Screen:
    • Remove screws securing the touchscreen (typically Torx screws).
    • Carefully detach the touchscreen from its mounting.

Step 7: Disconnect Wiring

  1. Unplug Connectors:
    • Carefully disconnect the wiring harness from the back of the touchscreen.
    • Ensure no wires are pinched or damaged during removal.

Step 8: Install New Touchscreen

  1. Connect New Unit:

  2. Secure the Screen:
    • Reinstall the screws to secure the touchscreen in place.
  3. Reattach Trim Panels:
    • Snap the dashboard trim back into place.

Step 9: Final Check
