Thanks for this. I've just bought a Fakra gps unit and have been advised to place it in the pillar trim. Wasn't sure how, but after seeing this video, I'm well informed. Cheers

@dayv Жыл бұрын

My GPS was magnetic and stuck to my dash I did have it tucked behind the head unit but I don't think it liked being hidden 😅

@oddjob1932 Жыл бұрын

@@dayv mines magnetic too, and I did think about placing it behind the dash. However, many on a forum have recommend the passenger pillar. As such, I went in search of how to remove said pillar, and stumbled across your vid. Very helpful, thanks 👍

Did you disconnect the negative lead on the battery before doing that? As one video I watched suggested it needs to be done and I can't be aggro'd with doing that lol

@dayv 2 жыл бұрын

I didnt bother. I guessif your paranoid about the airbag going off (unlikely) then you could disconnect it for a moment. To let it drain any power remaining in the system.

@MrEricSteib Ай бұрын

Did you disconnect the battery before you did any of this to prevent the airbag from going off or is it not needed?

@dayv Ай бұрын

I didn't and had no issues. But if your near airbags it might be an idea to disconnect it.

@PettyMitch Жыл бұрын

Both of my trim pieces seem to be glued to the windshield. Any recommendations on what I should do to get it out? I don’t want to just pull it because it will rip the fabric. Haven’t seen anyone else with this issue

Never heard of trim being glued before so not sure how to tackle that one I'm afraid

Would the air bag go off if I remove the trim?

@dayv 7 ай бұрын

Probably not. But if in doubt disconnect the back negative terminal on your battery

@hj7993 3 ай бұрын

Did you disconnect the power from air bags system or it is not needed?

@dayv 3 ай бұрын

i didnt as i knew what was behind there. if your going near the air bag it might be best to disconnect the battery so it doesnt go off in your face. check your radio code if you have one as youll need that to use your radio.

Airbag sensors are on the body behind the panels. Like front and rear bumpers

@@jeremymoreside1444 thanks for clarifying, I saw a bunch of other videos where they were installing speakers on the panels near airbags but hadn't mentioned disconnecting the battery. Good to know the sensor is outside.
