Default Climate Control

How do you remove it from the dash without breaking anything? I bought one out of a U.S. car that is calibrated in Farenhiet to replace the one in my car that reads Celsius.
Thanks
Bill

you have to take off the radio because the climate control bracket is attached to the radio. pull off the top vents with your fingers and you'll see two bolts. pull out your ash tray and you'll find the remaining two bolts.

once you remove all four bolts, the radio and climate control comes out. you can figure out what to do from there.

Right, but pulling out the vent is a little tricky. You need to wedge a taped up screwdriver into one of the upper corners in order to dislodge the vent from the clips. The ashtray pulls right out.
