TOOLS REQUIRED: #2 Phillips screwdriver, hook tool, 9/32” & 5/16” sockets & driver, telescopic magnet, 5/64” drill bit and drill, protective cloth, marking pen.
PARTS INCLUDED: Pro.Fit VSMTM , instructions, two (2) # 10x 5/8” screws.
LOCATION: To the right of the radio
STEP 1. Begin by removing the simulated wood grain bezel that surrounds the ashtray. Insert the hook tool behind the upper right corner of the bezel just below the climate control. Pull toward you to release the right clip. Perform this same action in the upper left corner. Set the bezel aside. Using the 9/32” socket and driver remove the two screws that hold the ashtray module in place. Set the screws aside. Grasp the ashtray module and carefully pull it out of it’s cavity just enough to gain access to two 5/16″ hex head screws that hold the radio and climate control unit in place. Using the 5/16″ socket and driver and a telescopic magnet remove the two screws that hold bottom section of the radio and climate control unit. NOTE: Use the telescopic magnet to make sure the screws do not fall behind the dash. Set the screws aside.
STEP 2. Insert the hook tool behind the lower right corner of the air duct module just above the radio. Carefully pull toward you to release the lower right clip that holds the duct in place. Perform this action in the lower left corner of the duct to remove the lower left clip. Grasp the air duct and pull it out of its cavity and set it on top of the dash. Do not disconnect any wiring. Locate and remove the four (4) hex head screws that hold the radio and climate control in place. Set the screws aside. Place the protective cloth over the top of the center console. Grasp the radio and climate control module and pull it out of its cavity. Set the module onto the center console. Do not disconnect any wiring to the radio. Locate a flat section of plastic to the right of the radio cavity. This section has a hole in it for the radio and climate control module centering pin. Place the center hole in the Pro.Fit VSMTM over the centering pin hole on the dash. Using the marking pen and the remaining two holes in the Pro.Fit VSMTM as guides, mark the two spots for pilot holes. Set the VSM aside.
STEP 3. Using the 5/64″ drill bit and drill, carefully drill two pilot holes. Place the Pro.Fit VSMTM over the pilot holes. Insert the two provided screws and tighten.
STEP 4. Re-install the dash in reverse order securing all clips and screws. Install the phone holder onto the Pro.Fit VSMTM.
