Hi all,
After installing my new Pure Highway 300Di this week I thought I'd stick this quick guide up on how to remove the NG4 Sat Nav headunit from the car as no matter how hard I tried I couldn't find one anywhere! (of course feel free to prove me wrong! ha ha)
I am aware of several cases of Peugeot dealers putting the frighteners on people looking to do this by saying that they have to remove large parts of the dashboard etc and when I called to try and find the part No. for a set of removal keys they said that they weren't aware of any which are available but that I could feel free to pop down to their workshop and have them remove it (probably for a 1/2 hrs worth of labour to boot).
Anyway the good news is that it really isn't all that difficult or frightening to do, takes around 5 minutes and the keys are readily and easily available (after finding the appropriate parts on Peugeot ServiceBox after about 30 seconds of looking - Cheers parts counter you useless, lying gits! )
So... on to the actual procedure. You will need the following:
I. A T20 Torx Screwdriver.
II. 2x sets of Autoleads PC5-132 Stereo Removal Keys
They are marked as being for Mercedes but ignore that.
You can find them in Halfords for £4.99 a set but they can be found much cheaper on eBay etc. You will need the 4 keys however so make sure that you get 2 sets.
III. Your hands!
==================================================================
1. Remove the ashtray
Pull the ashtray open and then depress the locking tab downwards (1). Once this tab is depressed slide the ashtray out towards you so that it comes clear of the dashboard (2).
2. Remove the storage tray
Pull the storage tray upwards so that it pops out (1) and then slide it out towards you so that it comes clear of the dashboard (2).
3. Remove the AC panel trim
Now that the storage tray is removed you will be able to see the diagnostics plug and 4 screws to the left and right of it. Take your T20 Torx screwdriver and remove screws marked (1) and (2) on the picture above. Next feel for the bottom right edge of the AC trim panel and pull it firmly towards you. This should unclip the trim panel leaving your dashboard looking like so:
4. Insert the stereo removal tools
Get your stereo removal keys and insert them into the horizontal slots marked (1), (2), (3) and (4). The keys need to be inserted with the straight edge facing outwards and the curved edge facing the centre of the stereo. Push them in until you hear a click.
5. Release the stereo
Grab the bottom left (1) and top right keys (2) and pull the stereo towards you. You should be able to clide the stereo clear of the dashboard. There are several looms lurking behind here so be careful as you slide it out as they're pretty tight. Firstly unclip the hazard loom. At the back of the connector you'll feel a push clip. Push it down and slide the locking tab to the right. This will pop the connector out. There is a similar blue connector to the left edge of the stereo. Remove the other connectors on the right hand side (they simply clip off) and then remove the large Quadlock connector on the left by pushing the clip on the bottom of the connector and lift the hinged arm outwards. This should release the last of the harness and enable you to completely remove the NG4 from the dash.
6. Remove the cage
If you want to remove the cage you can by unscrewing the T20 Torx screw (1) and push the silver locking tabs (2), (3), (4) and (5) inwards from the outside edge of the cage. This will enable you to slide the cage towards you and clear of the dashboard (6).

That's it! All done.
