Picture before 09/2005
3.2 Disassembly of the air vent / Switch-center / center-console (SZM)
First, the decorative strip is removed:
The easiest way to do this is to start on the driver's side and gently pull the strip out.
If available, use plastic wedge to help.
Disconnect the cable from the fresh air vent (hazard warning switch):
Set aside the ledge with the fresh air vent.
Short description for the Before Facelift (VFL) model until 03/2007, from 03/2007 it is described in detail:
 |
Remove Screws (1). Note: Thread sufficiently long screwdriver (2) in front of trim for instrument panel (4) as shown. Press the screwdriver (2) forwards to release the upper holding points (3). |
Now you reach two more screws that need to be removed:
Now the climate control unit with the entire cover can be removed forwards and the plugs behind it can be disconnected.
The cladding of the control-center center-console must now be clipped all around:
Access to the power supply is now available.
4 Connecting controller harness to the vehicle
4.1 Connection CAN bus from 09/2005
Remove the plug in the footwell on the body-gateway module.
To do this, press the fuse on the top and fold the lever completely.
Remove the connector housing. To do this, pull apart the sides and slide the case out:
The plug is split in two.
Slide the small part of the plug on the side:
Behind it are the Can bus cables to which the cable harness of the controller must be connected.
The cable assignment:
Pin 29 PT-CAN-High Blue/Red
Pin 30 PT-CAN-Low Red
 |
Disconnect pin 29, insert it into the supplied socket housing on the appropriate side. The socket housings are "coded" fit only one way into the opposite plug. Insert the blue/red cable from the DataDisplay wiring harness into slot 29 until it clicks into place. Same with pin 30 (red). The crimp contacts have a flag which works like a barb. This flag must be pressed and at the same time carefully pulled on the cable. (Picture "Drücken 1") Attention: the flag can snap into the intermediate opening a second time. Here you have to press again. (Picture "Drücken 2")
|
Attention: The side where the cable is plugged in is given by the supplied cable harness! The colors must match!
If both cables have been inserted in the socket housing, press the safety clip until it clicks into place. This again prevents slipping out of the contacts.
When the Can-bus lines are mated, slide the small part of the plug back in (from right to left) and slide the plug housing over the insert until it snaps into place.
Now the plug can be re-attached to the body-gateway module.
First open the stirrup completely. When inserting the stirrup, it is automatically turned upwards.
4.2 Connection CAN bus before 09/2005
Remove the connector shown.
To do this, press the fuse on the top and fold the lever completely.
Remove the connector housing. To do this, pull apart the sides and slide the case out:
The cable assignment
Pin 32 PT-CAN-High Blue/Red
Pin 34 PT-CAN-Low Red
0
Now the cables Pin 32 (CAN_High with the color red / blue) as well as Pin 34 (CAN_Low with the color red) are pinned out. Use a small flat-head screwdriver, a needle or something similar. The crimp contacts have a flag which works like a barb. This flag must be pressed and at the same time carefully pulled on the cable (Picture "Drücken 1").
Attention: the flag can snap into the intermediate opening a second time. Here you have to press again. (Picture "Drücken 2")
Picture similar!
Insert the spun cables into the supplied socket housings.
Attention: The side where the cable is plugged in is given by the supplied cable harness! The colors must match!
If both cables have been inserted in the socket housing, press the safety clip until it clicks into place. This again prevents slipping out of the contacts.
When the Can-Bus lines are plugged together push the small part of the plug back in (from right to left) and push the plug housing over the insert until it snaps into place.
Now the plug can be re-attached to the body-gateway module.
First open the stirrup completely. When inserting the stirrup, it is automatically turned upwards.
4.3 Connection power supply
There are two versions here.
Before facelift Model (VFL) and Facelift Model (LCI).
The LCI has a connector on the left and right of the unit (center console switching center). 3 Pin Connector.
The VFL model has several connectors on the back of the "center unit".
The power supply is located on the 6-pin connector:
In both cases the pins are:
Pin 1: Voltage 12 Volt Clamp 30G Red / Violet
Pin 2: Ground (GND) brown / black
The longer cables of the controller cable harness must now be pulled from the passenger footwell to this connector.
4.3.1 Power supply LCI and VFL
Unlock the fuse of the connector with a small screwdriver, otherwise it is not possible to spin it out:
(Here is an example for both models of the connectors of the LCI model):
Disconnect one cable after the other, as already explained at the connector of the body-gateway module and insert it into the supplied connector housing.
If there is no opening at the top to press the "flag" of the crimp contacts, you must prick the front of the connector with a small needle or a small flat-head screwdriver from the front. The flag (barbs) is pressed down and the pin can be pulled out:
Pay attention again to the same position of the colors!
Plug the pins of the supplied wiring harness into the position of the disconnected cables.
The finished spun and too long cables can be pushed back into the opening.
Now reassemble everything (except for the interior trim with the fresh air vent) in the reverse order and put all previously disconnected plugs in their previous position.
5 Display installation
Lay the interior trim so that it does not scratch.
Remove two nuts on the sides of the fresh air vent (usually 8mm wrench size):
Remove the Torx T15 screw on the underside:
Use a screwdriver to turn the retaining clips around and carefully pull the fresh air grill off the interior trim:
Press the hazard switch from the back to the front (Optional):
If the fresh air vent is separated from the interior trim, the trim must be removed.
Use a screwdriver to gently lift all stirrups and pull the front panel away. On some models (as you can see here) there are small weld points which need a bit more power to pry out.
In the middle (position warning flasher switch) is on the inside also still on each side of a lock.
Without the bezel of the fresh air grill, the "air baffles" on the left side can simply be taken forwards.
In order to ensure a recovery, it is essential to safely remove all parts.
The second part of the air ducts can also be easily removed. To do this, press the top and bottom slightly apart:
Since the now resulting openings are not large enough to lead through the individual cables of the display cable (as with other models), it is recommended to drill a new hole (about 6mm) through which you put the cable through one by one.
Or simple enlarge the allready existing hole near the middle of the air vent. (Not recommended)
Insert one cable after the other, the display cable, through the hole and insert into the supplied socket housing. The cable is 1: 1 occupied, for comparison take the other side of the cable:
Connect the cable to the display and insert the display with frame into the guides of the grill:
Carefully and with feeling bring the aperture back into the intended position, pay attention to the display frame! If you apply too much force, the lateral support pins of the display frame may break!
Insert the hazard warning switch again and insert the fresh air vent with display into the interior trim strip and fasten with the previously removed screws.
Pull the display cable on the right side of the opening of the fresh air grille down into the attendant footwell:
The interior bar can now be plugged back into the dashboard. Make sure that the display cable is not squeezed and the previously disconnected connectors are all connected.
The controller can now also be plugged in. The guide lugs must point upwards.
The USB cable for updating can be placed in the glove compartment from the back. So this is always up for updating accessible and well stowed.
WARNING: Plug in the plug only with caution and without force! Danger of breaking off!
The USB cable only fits one way into the controller.
If you try to plug it in the wrong way, the USB socket can break!
The bevelled corners of the plug must face down.
Close the cover of the passenger's footwell and stow the controller at the appropriate actuator.
The DataDisplay by AK-Motion is now ready for use.
Have fun with it
