Remove Dash Trim Pieces

Hi guys,

Does anyone happen to have the StarTek docs, or the ability to look up how to remove the wood trim pieces on the dash? I'm swapping out the big piece above the glove box and radio.

Thanks!

To remove the large trim piece in front of the passenger:

Remove climate control controls, starting by removing the bezel around the radio controls using wedge 110589035900, followed by two extraction hooks 140589023300 to release climate controls
Remove COMAND unit
Remove center air ducts using two (2) extraction hooks 140589023300
Remove right air duct using two extraction hooks
Use wedge 110589035900 to "unclip instrument panel trim piece from instrument panel".

Hello,

(Sorry tried to connect with you via message but wouldn't let me)

I've seen you've done an android screen conversion to your ML and see you got some extensive experience with it.

I want to do the same my main reason for doing so is to have Waze + Spotify and a little more functionality from the infotainment system.

My main issue is that I want to keep using the cars MIC/Speakers for phone calls rather than the inbuilt MIC of the android unit. Have you got any experience with that?

Unfortunately my options for a unit are limited since I'm based in the UK i have found a "reputable" supplier from China unfortunately that can provide me with a NTG 4.5/4.7 compatible unit with a 8.4" (I dont want to cover the vents) with car play included.

Easy. Don't pair your phone with the Android side, keep it paired with COMAND.

Yes on tether. Tether uses wifi (if you do it right). Tethering via BT is limited by speed of the technology.

You either switch back to the COMAND side, and dial in the phone app, or dial from your phone.
