BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Car stereo
Operation: How to change the car radio on BMW E46

Do we want to disassemble and replace the car radio from BMW? Let's see how the dashboard plastics can be removed from inside. Let's remove the molding from above the dashboard: let's detach it from the central dashboard. Once the car radio is free from constraints, we are going to unscrew the fastening screws placed in the upper part of the same with a screwdriver. We take out the car radio with our hands and disconnect the cables (of the power supply and of the antenna). We insert the new car radio inside the central dashboard of the car, screw in the clamping screws and the horizontal molding. We test the functioning of the car radio.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
