How to remove the Instrument Cluster W203

[bitonw]

Hi all,

After searching on the Internet, reading many posts, scanning many forums in different countries stil no result.

I'm after how to remove the Instrument Cluster of a W203 2003 C-Class. I made hooks as discriped on some posts but what ever I try no movement. Most of the information is for older vehicles what is different.

Any one who did this? I want to remove my Instrument Cluster to place the GPS antenne. I replaced the Audio 10 CD with an APS 30.

Thanks,
bt

I don't know if you still want to do this but if you do..... this worked for me.
Two wire hooks made from approx 2mm diameter wire with 5mm 90 degree bend to 150mm long straights and 50mm long bends at 90 degrees.
Insert long ends into side slots of cluster with short ends facing out 'West and East' until you feel a resistance and hear a click as the insie clips release from the dashboard. Turn both through 90 degrees downwards and carefully pull back and the cluster will come out towards the steering wheel. Bob's your uncle!

Hope this helps.... Contact me direst if you need more help. Chris
