Removing the Central Console Display of the Ford Explorer

Model: Ford Explorer MK 5, U502 - Years 2011-2019
Part: Dashboard

To remove the display from the central console of the Ford Explorer, start by unfastening the side trim mouldings from the bottom to avoid breaking the retaining clips. This will give you access to the screws securing the frame around the display, which will then need to be detached along with the climate control buttons. At this point, only the screws securing the display remain to be undone, allowing you to extract it from its housing and possibly install a CAN-Bus interface as shown in the video.
