Easy Guide to Remove the Dashboard

Model: Volkswagen Golf - Years 2009-2016
Part: Dashboard

Do you need to replace a plastic part? A button? Or replace the standard radio with a satellite navigator? Let's see how to remove the dashboard in just a few moments.
First, you need a thin flat-head screwdriver, which you will use to extract the plastic parts at the top and unscrew the screws underneath. Insert the screwdriver between the dashboard and the trim and gently pry to unclip all the clips around. Pull it towards you carefully until it is fully unlatched, disconnect the connectors, and completely remove the frame.
Unscrew the four screws located at the corners of the radio, extract it, and be careful to disconnect the connectors.
The video then shows how to connect the satellite navigator and all the necessary operations to install it and reassemble all the plastics you have removed so far.
Finally, a quick overview of the functionalities of the entertainment system, audio, video, GPS, Bluetooth, etc., is provided.
