Climate Control Panel Removal

[Jubbie]

Hi --

My dog chewed the rubber surrounds of the climate control knob. Unfortunately I need to replace the whole unit. I have sourced cheap on eBay (Good news) I do not know how to remove the old panel (Bad news)

Any one know ? Thanks for any help

My unit looks a little different to the one on the site but it is a start. Thank you for taking the time to answer.

Hi guys,

How to remove the climate control panel?
There is no YouTube nor manual about it.
If someone knows, please share with it. I don't want to brake some taps.
Thank you in advance.

It is straightforward, but a bit tedious.
I've read a post about it in the international i3 group on FB.
In short, there are three tabs on top, and two at the bottom.
But you have to remove the aux 12V plug and connected wires before you can remove the climate panel unit.

This is the LINK to the post referenced on the Worldwide i3 FB page. I've not seen any other posts from anyone else who has removed this panel and documented it.
If you are not a member of that group, you would have to request to be one, otherwise you will not be able to see the post and pics.
