Any suggestions on how to remove the main centre vent above the radio/climate panel?

Had a quick look and no obvious fixings.

Very flat-bladed screwdriver down the side or underneath it where the vent meets the dash - should be able to ease it out slightly like that, and then pull it out fully :)

Careful with scrwedrivers, the rubber dents easily...

I made SEAT fit a new dash in my car after some screwdriver marks...

Rather use a long nose pliers with some cloth on the grilles - toward the outr parts...

They do have a little glue, so you may have to pull hard...

You have to remove the OEM vents.

Radio , Central Facia ... basically you need space to pass the wires behind the dash...

Then you need to connect them in serie....

O dont think its easy to get the illuminated rings alone, theyre sold as a whole unit.

You can connect the wires to the light switch or the ESP / Fuel Tank light....

I used one of the 2, I cant remember which one, that way they light up with the rest of the lights that come on (when you turn your headlights on)

No,

Cut the plugs and make extensi ons so you can connect all 3 simultaneously.
