How to Remove the Navigation System in Peugeot 308?
2 Answers
Peugeot 308 navigation removal method: Use a yellow plastic pry tool to loosen the dashboard in the center console; remove the loosened plastic dashboard components; unscrew the screws with a Phillips screwdriver, then remove the small storage compartment and disconnect the tail wires; loosen and lift the plastic components around the gear lever with the plastic pry tool; unscrew the screws securing the original black air conditioning panel with a Phillips screwdriver, then remove and disconnect the socket to finally take out the navigation system. The Peugeot 308 is a compact car, with the first-generation model equipped with a 120-horsepower 1.6L inline 4-cylinder gasoline engine transplanted from the 207 model, fitted with Michelin tires sized 215/55R16.
I've disassembled the Peugeot 308 navigation system several times and have summarized a practical method. As someone who frequently works with my hands, I emphasize safety first. Start by turning off the engine and engaging the handbrake, then disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent short circuits and fires. Next, prepare plastic pry tools and small screwdrivers, gently inserting them into the gaps of the center panel to pry it open. Avoid using excessive force to prevent damaging the clips; screws are usually hidden beneath or on the sides of the screen. Once unscrewed, the navigation unit will loosen, and you should gently remove the power and signal cables—remember their positions or take photos for easier reassembly. Don't forget to wear anti-static gloves to protect electronic components. The entire process takes about 15-20 minutes, and after completion, test the new functions to ensure they work properly. Experience has taught me that patience is crucial; once, I was in too much of a hurry and pulled a cable too hard, breaking the connector, which cost more to repair. Regular inspection and cleaning of the connectors can also extend their lifespan.
