Brodit Tomtom Mount

[Pidge_MKV]

I have just installed my Brodit Active Tomtom mount using a Dashmount bracket - I have wired it with inline fuse to the 12v cig lighter...

Does anyone know how to remove the panel beneath the heating controls (See picture)? I can get a screwdriver behind it but it won't budge and I don't want to force it... Is it just clipped in? I would like to put the wire behind it to make the installation neater.

Thanks

I bought one of these for my Golf, albeit the non powered one which fits on the dash...

I was so disappointed with it that I removed it and put it in a drawer ruing the £30-odd that I'd spent on this rubbish.

It ruins the look of the car and makes it a prime target for thieves, if you have the slightest bit of common sense you'll ditch it... PDQ let alone try to wire it in!

Each to their own... not as much a target as if I had the window mount... It actually looks just like a mobile phone holder.

It actually works very well, very stable which is more than I can say for the original window mount!!

Hi,

That panel should just lever out. There are two push fit clips about a third of the way down on either side, and then it should just pull down towards you.

Cheers fella, will give it a try later on - so if I just pull it, the clips will unclip without breaking?

[elPaulio]

In theory yes, they are just held in by clips, no screws etc.

Just go easy and try one side first till it pops!!

Could you post a picture of your cabin please? I was thinking of replacing the black trim around the stereo with grey or brushed aluminium look trim and noticed your's had the greyish trim.

Hows this?

Good thanks!

Take a look at this thread for removing parts..

(the below thread is for installing SAT NAV, however it will give you an idea on how to remove parts etc..)
