Can anyone tell me how to remove the navigation unit out. I've search everywhere here but could not find a thread on how to remove it. I got far as removing the glovebox out and the surrounding lower trims but the front lid and plastic surrounds seems to be all attached to the side vents. I dont want to break any plastic trim. Im replacing the unit with an aftermarket dvd player and keeping the old unit if I ever sell the car again. Any help appreciated thanks.

Pull from the left hand side of the trim out towards you. Pull the rubber that goes down by the door and get your fingers under the edge. It will lever at the dash end. When you lever the left out just far enough you will be able to unhook it from underneath the AC vent on the middle part of dash.

Why do you want to remove it. If you remove the dvd rom you will have trouble playing the dvd player up to the screen unless that is after market also

Thanks Brad, but is the tv tuner independent from the dvd rom? I need to remove it in place for the new dvd player. I got nowhere else to put it.

DVD rom, screen and TV tuner are all related.

The TV tuner signal runs through the DVD Rom and then to the Screen. The outputs from the DVD rom are not RCA or RGB so it is complicated.

If you remove the DVD rom you will loose all the current functions on the pop up screen.

The TV tuner has an AUX input. I would suggest you are better off connecting the DVD player via this input and finding a different mounting location for the unit. Maybe under the passenger seat.

Ah! that make sense thanks guys for your input. Nothing is simple anymore with this car lol. I just added a pair of monitor built in the headrests and looking at where to mount the new dvd. It looks like the cargo hold maybe the only place to put it.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
