📋 Procedure

Removing and installing radio navigation system with monochrome display
Note
The part number for the complete radio/navigation system is printed on a sticker on the radio/navigation system housing!
If a radio navigation system from one vehicle is fitted into another vehicle, it is essential that the part number of the replacement unit is the same as that of the unit previously installed. Otherwise faults will occur in navigation because the steering angle sensor setting in the radio navigation system will not be compatible with the vehicle.
If the radio navigation system is renewed or exchanged, adapt the impulses of the ABS speed sensors and the tyre circumference to quickly improve the accuracy of the radio navigation system, Adapting navigation system components

Who makes these pages, and how

TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.

The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.

Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
