Hi, I have got myself into a real jam. I tried to insert a micro SD card into my dash cam at back of my rear vision mirror, it fell on my ashtray lid that was closed and slid to the back and into the unknown.
I have spent many hours but cannot find any reference to removing the ashtray under the lid, etc.
Can anyone provide some info how to remove the ashtray housing with the slide across lid so as I can locate the SD card resting somewhere. Thank you
You might also try pulling slightly on the side console panels (actually they can be removed) and see if the SD card fell onto the carpet under the console or even down the side of the console. If it's there you can probably reach it or use a stick to knock it over to where you can. If it ended up on top of some part of the console, the previous instructions are great. You'll also see in the previous instructions that the ashtray itself is actually removed by pulling up so maybe it's just laying under there.
Thank you so much for the replies very appreciated and the diagram was most helpful and made the job easier.
Well I spent the afternoon pulling apart the ashtray and cup holder but unfortunately for me did not see it anywhere.
Damn thing is so small I believe it has fallen on the side of the carpet and there are no side panels as the consul is all one piece.
Tried a ruler on the sides, lifting it out and even tried pulling the carpet outwards but the carpet backing is so thick doesn't fold.
Well then tried to remove console and after removing the heater unit and the two rear screws at the back of the storage
compartment securing the rear vent I got stuck. I was trying to remove the consul I was determined but I gave up after not
being able to figure out how to remove the rear back seat consul that over hangs on the front consol. What a nightmare.
I have put it all together and noticed a large scratch on the ashtray slider lid now. Not my day. konigstiger if you have a diagram on removing the front and rear consul that would be fantastic and I'll try it again and again
Thanks again
