I. Installing the Telephone Cradle





1. Open the lower compartment of the center console and remove the T8 Torx screw at the lower, left corner of the upper compartment underside (Figure 34).

2. Remove the cover by sliding it down and then pulling it out.





3. Remove the false floor by removing the three T8 Torx screws from the exposed compartment underside (Figure 35).





4. Open the upper compartment of the center console and lift out the false floor (Figure 36).

5. Remove the knockout from the false floor by applying pressure from underneath (Arrows, Figure 36).

Note:
Be careful not to crack or break the false floor by applying excessive force while removing the knockout.





6. Find the kit-included contact plate (A, Figure 37) and identify the male FAKRA antenna lead (B, Figure 37) and the power supply male connector (C, Figure 37).





7. Feed the contact plate leads through the knockout hole from the topside of the false floor (Figure 38).





8. Carefully snap the contact plate into the false floor knockout hole (Figure 39).

Note:
Be careful not to crack or break the false floor by applying excessive force while snapping in the contact plate.





9. Find the female power supply connector (A, Figure 40) and female FAKRA connector (B, Figure 40) within the console harness.





10. Connect the male FAKRA antenna lead from the contact plate to the female FAKRA connector from the console harness (A, Figure 41).

11. Connect the power supply male connector from the contact plate to the female power supply connector from the console harness (B, Figure 41).

12. Snap the coupled connectors into the channel clips (A and B, Figure 41) and then route the harness through the channel and under the existing clip (C, Figure 41).

13. Use the two kit-included clips (Arrows, Figure 41) to secure the remaining loose harness.





14. Reinstall the false floor and the underside cover of the console upper compartment using the previously removed Torx screws (Figure 42).
