Somebody removed the bluetooth phone unit from my car before I bought it but the snapped the lugs that hold down the rear edge of the fancy wood-effect trim panel that holds the gearstick gaiter and various switches etc between the seats. The glovebox lid keeps it in generally the right position but it is wobbly and I need to get at it anyway to replace the mirror adjusting switch (when I can find one for less than the MB price of £300!)
I haven't rummaged about too much in that area to see how the switch might come out (I have 2 broken thumbs) so would welcome any suggestion as to how it all comes apart.
How do I release the whole panel? It obviously extends quite high up past the ashtray and up to the Comand unit. What are the fixtures that I need to remove? Are there any manuals worth getting?

I also have a recon Nokia 6310i phone that doesn't f-work on this model control unit. Anyone want to trade for a Nokia 6210?:mad:
