What is the dismantling tutorial for the center console of the 2018 Haval H6?
2 Answers
For aesthetic purposes, the center console usually has a strip or a ring of imitation metal or walnut wood trim. You can use a tool similar to a flat-head screwdriver to insert it along the seam and gently pry it open. After prying open the center console trim, you can see the fixing bolts of the DVD player. Basically, all cars have four fixing screws, which can be unscrewed with a hex wrench.
I once assisted in dismantling the center console of a 2018 Haval H6 at a friend's auto repair shop, which required patience throughout the process. Safety first: always disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to avoid short circuits damaging the electronic systems. Prepare tools such as plastic pry bars, T-shaped screwdrivers, and gloves. Dismantling steps: start by prying off the driver-side trim panel and the lower steering wheel cover, being careful not to scratch the plastic surfaces; then locate and remove the mounting screws, typically Phillips or Torx screws; next, carefully unplug the connectors for the infotainment screen and climate control unit, gently prying the wiring harnesses to avoid bending pins. Common issues include missing hidden screws or overlooking the risk of airbag wiring—snapping these can be a major headache. In real cases, some people dismantled the console to upgrade audio systems or install CarPlay, only to damage the GPS module, which wasn’t worth the trouble. I recommend photographing each step for reference and consulting detailed diagrams or video tutorials available online. Before DIY attempts, keep replacement parts on hand in case of accidental damage. The entire process takes about 1-2 hours. Safety is paramount—if you're not experienced, it’s best to seek help from a professional technician.
