BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Accessory Kit
Operation: Assembly of connection accessories kit for iPod

Let's start by disassembling the ashtray and removing the mechanism springs by pulling them out of the holder. On the bottom of the compartment there is a hole where you can pass the cable of the accessory kit to take it back on the right side of the tunnel between the plastic and the covering. Remove the protective paper from the double-sided adhesive placed under the telephone holder of the accessory and by pulling the cable place the accessory in the compartment of the ashtray. Remove the glovebox by unhooking it from the sealing screws. Hide the cable between the plastic and the trim and extend it to the back of the glovebox. Connect the cable to the box containing the electronics of the accessory which will be connected to the car power supply. Refit the glovebox with its screws. Connect the phone to the accessory and check all the functions offered by the new installation.

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.
