Using a medium-sized flathead screwdriver, pry off the dashboard trim. Unscrew the fastening screw of the side air duct and remove it. Take off the frame around the car radio and pull out the radio itself. Then, pull out the climate control display by pulling it forward and disconnect the connectors attached to it. Next, remove the glove compartment. Unscrew the fastening screws of the radio support frame and the display, and remove it from its location to later install the GPS navigator. Detach the center air duct, pull it out, and place it on the dashboard. Now, with a very small flathead screwdriver, detach the cover at the center of the windshield pillar trim: once the cover is removed, three screws will be visible that need to be unscrewed, allowing you to detach the trim from the pillar and slide it out from the edge of the dashboard using a lever. Detach the courtesy light fixture from the headliner and route the microphone cables for the Bluetooth system and the GPS antenna so that the microphone is positioned near the light fixture and the antenna is on the windshield, just at the exit of the pillar, and converge all the connection jacks inside the radio compartment. Make all connections following the provided wiring diagram, and securely fasten the wiring, placing the navigator in its location: the climate control display should be positioned in place of the glove compartment. Finally, complete the installation by reassembling everything that was previously removed.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?
To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete. by ScegliAuto More videos
