Removal of CD mutlichanger in glovebox
I recently connected a device to control my iPhone/iPod so I disconnected the CD mutlichanger in the glovebox.
As I don't have use for it anymore, it would be nice to free up some space in the glovebox. I've had a quick look at trying to remove it but it looks like it could be opening a bag of worms! Anyone else tried this? |

Pretty easy.How i did mine, open glovebox & squeaze the hinges together to allow lid to drop flat.You should see some torx screws on the top edge,remove these.In the cubby above the glovebox,push back the carpet at the front edge,it's glued btw,to reveal a further 3 i think, torx screws.Remove these & then the glovebox should be able to slide out.My cd changer was bolted through the base of the glovebox with 8mm nuts & bolts.Simply undo & remove, & rejoice in the space you can fill with something useful

I have to agree with tcable - the same happened to mine about 2 months ago. i tried everything to get the cd cassette to release but i could not get it to release, so like tcable i held the release button and hit the front of it with the end of a screwdriver and it popped straight out, i have had no trouble with it since |
