Good morning. I need to disassemble the cigarette lighter and I've been looking in the finder and can't find anything.
Someone could explain to me how to disassemble it. I don't want to break anything

 

More information would be helpful to provide a useful answer. Why are you taking the cigar lighter apart? Do you need to remove the entire cigar lighter assembly, or something else?

To remove just the cover of the assembly, see post #279 in this thread.

If you need to take the entire assembly out, there is a procedure starting at page 3369 of the Service Manual (procedure designated as 76.25.01) that involves the removal of the center console. This may be more than you need to do.

I hope this helps getting you started.

 

What I need is to be able to disassemble the cigarette lighter to replace it since it is damaged. Anyway I appreciate the information you have provided me

 

The best way to show appreciation is to click the button on my post. Thanks and good luck!

 

Buy a new one, they aren't expensive, ask your dealer who should be able to post it to you for around €25

If you can't afford that you've bought the wrong car

 

The outer housing threads off from the back. That's all.

 

Thank you. In the end I was able to disassemble it, now install the new one and reassemble everything.
Regards.

 

I'd like to tap into the supply to the lighter to power my RPi. Is it possible to pull the lighter assembly out from the top so I can get to the wires feeding it underneath?

Thanks.

 

What's an RPi? Any of these?

Note that the cigar lighter circuit is switched, which means that there is no electric power to that socket when the engine is off and Convenience Mode has timed out and shut off that circuit. If your RPi needs to be powered when the car is locked (like an alarm system autodialer), then the cigar lighter socket might not work. I presume that an attempted break-in that triggers the alarm would activate Convenience Mode and provide power to the cigar lighter circuit, but I'm not sure.

 

Sorry, Raspberry Pi. Switched power is what I'm after. Thanks for the info.
