Removal of the central console of the Volkswagen Polo MK4.

Model: Volkswagen Polo MK IV, Polo IV, Polo 4, MK 4, 9N - Years 2001-2009
Part: Dashboard

Let's see in this video how to dismantle the central console of a Volkswagen Polo MK4: we start by removing the radio, which needs to be taken out with the special keys that can be found on Amazon with the code B0BQ62G5ZF for the price of 6.99 euros, with free shipping. Then we disconnect the electrical connectors and the antenna. The dashboard tray can be removed simply by prying all around it. We remove the visible screws located behind these components, as well as the screws that are under the air conditioning control knobs, and then we will remove the plastic trim around which we will find two more screws that we will take out. Next, we will pull out the buttons that are near the hazard button, including it. We remove the air direction vents, discovering that there is still one screw on each side behind them. At this point, the entire console can be removed.
