yes the glue is pretty stupid looking, so which parts can i remove without affecting my "Cheap" bluetooth kit? cos i quite like the parrot thing. is that horrible black box removeable? cos its the first thing thats noticeable and i would like to rip it out, im pretty sure that big cale is removeable so im goinf out to take it out now.

Yup, the black box, the ethernet cable, and the part that sticks with the sucker on the windscreen can all be removed safely ;)

excellent i'll take the rest out on sunday, um... does anyone know of a super hardcore glue remover? cos the company that installed it must've used tile sealant or something (or thats what it looks and feels like), it just isn't shifting!  i've tried my best at removing it but it looks like if i rub and wipe it any more the dash material is gonna start peeling/flaking or wear out!. what the hell is this sh1111t?!!!!

sorry guys, one last question, i have a 6 disc changer in the arm rest (stereo is rcd 300, yes the boring one) but in the ashtray there seems to be a cable and an adapter, is it an ipod adapter? the cable runs into and through the ashtray side (i dont own an ipod either)...

Pic of new object?? lol

They must have used super sticky Hubba Bubba on that receiver. Not sure what you van use without touching the colour on the actual dash......
I know there used to be some liquid called 'Sticky Stuff Remover', which I used to use on game cases etc after peeling stickers off to get rid of the sticky substance left behind, but dont think that will be strong enough in your case TBH....

Have you actually removed the box and now just need to remove the glue?

yeah, i took the box off, realised how hard to glue is to get off then stuck the box back on, its partially still on there now but will wiggle off easily  :sad:

Stick one of them nodding dogs/characters on it!! lol

On a serious note, not sure how you can get the sticky stuff off without hurting the dash. You dont want to rub too hard in case you make a smooth area on the dashboard!

Maybe someone else will have a better idea!
Sorry Im not so helpful!
