  • Remove the TORX screws with a TORX T25 bit.

 

3. Push the hook with a flat-tip screwdriver, and turn the holder 90 degrees, then pull it out.

 

4. Remove the front individual map light assembly:

  • Remove the lenses.
  • Remove the bolts.
  • If equipped, release the four tabs, then pull out the navigation microphone.
  • Disconnect the front individual map light connector. If equipped, disconnect the navigation microphone connector.
