Question Removing My MB GPS.

Hey all,

I want to remove my out-dated MB GPS and replace it with my Magellan 4350.

My question is: How do I remove the panel near the center vents safely? Also, how do I remove the GPS wire, etc? I'm sure it's pretty straight forward and simple, but wanted to get some feedback before I do anything. I see a black wire from the GPS fed through the panel near the center vents. Where does it go...how do I remove it?

I will be using the current bracket to custom fit the Magellan's holder.

Any ideas?

TYIA!

Here are some photos:

Do you have a factory GPS?

That's not the factory gps. That looks like it was custom from the previous owner.

Thank you Mark. Apparently everyone is more concerned with it being after market or not....

Mark, where does the wire go, and how do I remove it safely? Aswell as the GPS software player in the trunk?

TYIA!

Depends on how the Install was done

The Center wood panel,radio,climate control,wood dash panel,center vent,front drivers side carpet,gas pedal,l under dash panel to access the side of the console,drivers seat,door sills will allow the wire harness to fit inside the plastic wire harness tray,rear seat was removed to access the harness to the trunk ...The removal Should be the same

hahaha. I'll remove it as soon as the weather permits. I'll explain my trials and errors! LOL!

How much could I sell this thing for? In case I wanted to...like I said, it works fine. Just bought a sweet GPS last month for a great price.
