Removing the navigation system of Trumpchi GA5 involves dealing with the wiring, so it's best to have it done by professionals at a 4S shop. Below is more information about the GAC Trumpchi GA5: 1. On September 13, 2010, the first GAC Trumpchi GA5 officially rolled off the production line; on December 16, 2012, the 2013 Trumpchi GA5 was launched; on September 22, 2014, the GAC Trumpchi GA5 1.6T was newly launched. 2. The dimensions of the Trumpchi GA5 are 4800mm*1819mm*1484mm, with a wheelbase of 2710mm. The Trumpchi GA5 model is equipped with a GAC self-developed 2.0-DCVVT engine, with a maximum power of 108kW/6300rpm and a peak torque of 187Nm/4500rpm.
Removing the navigation system from the GAC Trumpchi GA5 requires a step-by-step approach, and I recommend taking protective measures first. Turn off the engine and disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety. Prepare small tools like plastic pry bars and cross-head screwdrivers—avoid using metal ones to prevent scratching the interior. Start by prying off the decorative trim around the air vents on the dashboard, using a pry tool to gently work your way around the gaps. Once the clips on the panel are released, you can remove it. After exposing the mounting screws of the head unit, remember the position of each screw and place them in a small container to avoid losing them. When pulling out the head unit, be careful as it’s connected to data and power cables at the back. Press the clip on the connector and slowly unplug it—it’s best to take a photo with your phone to remember the wiring positions. Avoid yanking the wiring harness, and the navigation unit can then be removed. When reinstalling, follow the reverse order, ensuring all clips are aligned before pressing them back into place, and avoid overtightening the screws. Work gently throughout the process—beginners may want to ask a helper to hold the panel while one person removes it for easier handling.
