Hey guys I want to remove the inbuilt NAVI from the centre upper compartment and want to install the 'flip compartment' that is usually there..

So is there any walkthroughs or does anyone know how to do it, pics are/will be needed

Cheers

Will you be selling the nav? There will be a few interested if you want a swap..

well there is a good chance that i will be removing the entire Macintosh sound system (iv been told its very difficult to do but I'm giving it a shot!!)

and if that is a success then the head unit i will be installing will have a GPS installed anyway, plus i usually put my wallet in that centre compartment anyway..

so to answer previous YES i will be selling it!! just don't know when

Cool as, sounds like a plan! McIntosh is easy to remove, just a pain of you want to re-use the stock McIntosh amp!

I agree I prefer havin my wallet in the top compartment, and also have a double din h/u with gps so no need for navi for me

If you want to remove just the screen+fascia to replace the whole section with the pocket one then it just all pulls straight out. Then pop the new fascia with pocket it. If you want the whole navi out you have to remove the unit in the glove box and the aerial behind your dash cluster too.

Get a big flat head screw driver, wrap it in cloth and carefully lever the bottom of the fascia out, be careful not to damage the dash at all. The once you can grab it with your fingers pull the bottom out a bit then pull the top out and unplug the stuff on the back.
