Hello...

I'm working my way through the Orbital 2-DIN installation and I'm stuck on getting the A/C cables disconnected from their clips. These are the black and blue cables located above the accelerator pedal on the left-hand-side footwell.

I managed to detach the black cable after a lot of effort, and even part of the blue cable, but I'm stuck with the black metal clip holding the blue cable. I've tried hands, pliers, needlenose pliers, and it's still locked in.

Any suggestions/tips? Also, how strong is the cable -- I haven't tried all-out wrenching yet.

Thanks,

try harder. it comes out with some force as the clip is the only thing holding it in place.
you got the black one out, the blue comes off the same way. use a screwdriver and pry it out if need be, but remember there is a lot of plastic around that area, and plastic isn't so strong.

 

Kevin - thanks. I managed to get it off.. rest of the install is going smoother. Looking forward to getting the Navi in and getting back to driving!

Hey there, sorry I didn't make it... I didn't see your note until this morning. Anyway, I'm only halfway there... the A/C unit is moved (and even more important, working), but I'll be installing the navigation system today.

I'll be watching HMA industries and try to make it out to the next meet.

Later,
