Does anyone know how the rear entertainment console in the armrest is fixed and how it should be removed please. I need access to it for a hard-wired mod for digital TV.

 

yes take a flat tip ,and gently remove the plastic trim around the display case,this will reveal two upper and lower torque screws,once you remove them ,and presto the control will lift up..it will have two connections to it...unplug and its out...good luck

 

here's a pic of the console. I tried what you posted but the trim, if this is the right model you're talking of, doesn't want to budge. I don't want to break or mark the trim and I'm scared to apply too much preasure. Pls advise.

For anyone following this mod, it works. The power suply needed for it is in the boot - right side - behind the rear light - under the boot trim - black 3 pin plug with black / brown / red-white wires. red-white = switched +, brown = live and black = ground. attaching here will not affect any of the cars elec or comp systems. It is a dedicated accessory connector.

 

912guy's instructions sound correct, now I have looked at your pics, but sometimes the effort involved varies, and also knowing where it clips in helps, so if you're nervous, its main dealer time or maybe an independent like Dave Marks in Derby, or XJK Jaguar in Newcastle-under-Lyme, but you may have an indy near you.

 

take a very thin flat tip or a knife,start at the bottom corner always....i know it will seem like it wont budge but it will come up..as you work the bottom left corner ;osen it then go to the right side corner and do the same...then either top corner until it is lose all the way around...i know it seems like it wont budge but it will. ..but as stated if u dont feel comfy with the procedure...take her to the dealership....

 

What is the mod?

 

Digital TV into the AUX 1 or 2 input, rear ICE panel, hard wired. Thanks to everyone for the advice. I'm going for it Tuesday, gotta bit of chauffeuring to do till then. I'll try to come back with photos for those who follow in the future.

 

What are you using as UI & tuner?

 

I am sorry I just saw your pic.....yes your does not have the trim...but i beleive you have to remove the rear tray to access the screws....i cant remember....I will ask a good friend of mine ok?
