total time taken, minus break time. ~ approx 45 min.
difficulties: 5 (1 easiest, 10 hardest)
tools needed: plastic card (atm card), wire cutter, electrical tape, philip screwdriver, small flathead screwdriver.
opening
use your atm/credit card and slide in from the top... slowly ply open the console cover.
slowly pull the cover out from top... SLOWLY...
harness to disconnect (in this order)
the black thing is all the wires connect to the aircon controller module (the 3 dials)
this is the wire on right side which connects to the microphone.
this is the wire connects to the hazard signal switch. (EDITED: optional, no need to remove if you're ok. it wont block your access to the headunit.)
turn it upside down, then you can see the harness clearly. use the small flathead screwdriver to poke the lock in order to remove the harness.
remove the headunit
unscrew the headunit bracket... take out the headunit slowly...
you may have to cut the cable ties in order to enable easier access to pull the headunit out.
unplug these things (total 5 hardnesses)
dunno what is this... it was unused and sitting behind the headunit...
wiring
look for this light green wire.
cut the light green wire and connect to a new wire to be grounded. i am using a small wire from phone cables. remember to tape the connection.
make sure you tape the other end (on harness) and do not let it expose and touch anything.
screw back the headunit... ground the small wire onto a screw, or the headunit body will do.
DONE!! now video plays with or without handbrake up!
small note... we have lousy bluetooth microphone...
HAPPY MODDING!!
and i am not responsible for any losses if you break anything...
