Note: Please review the entire procedure before trying to perform it.

1. Disable the SIR system. Refer to Vehicle Service Manual.

2. Remove the right windshield pillar assist handle covers (1).
3. Remove the right windshield pillar assist handle fasteners (2).

Tighten

Upon reassembly, tighten the right windshield pillar assist handle fasteners to 9 Nm (80 lb in).

4. Disengage the retainers and remove the right windshield garnish molding assembly (3).

Note: Upon reassembly, ensure the tab is fully seated in the I/P upper trim panel prior to engaging the upper retainer.

5. Disengage the retainers and remove the left windshield garnish molding assembly (1).

6. Using a flat-bladed plastic trim tool, release the 12 retainers securing the instrument panel extension (1) to the upper instrument panel.

Disconnect any electrical connectors.

Caution: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

7. Remove the instrument panel compartment bolts (1).

Tighten

Upon reassembly, tighten the instrument panel compartment bolts to 2.5 Nm (22 lb in).

9. Remove the instrument panel upper compartment bolts (1).

Tighten

Upon reassembly, tighten the instrument panel upper compartment bolts to 2.5 Nm (22 lb in).

10. Using a flat-bladed plastic trim tool, release the retainer clips securing the instrument panel upper compartment (2) to the instrument panel assembly.

11. Disconnect the electrical connections from the factory installed HMI module (1).

13. Install the replacement HMI module, P/N 23266008, in reverse order and connect electrical connections.

14. Install navigation splitter (1), P/N 20960972, to the retaining tabs on bracket.

15. Unseat terminal (1) from cavity 2 of A-pillar harness connector (2).

16. Position connector from kit (1), P/N 13589365, next to current A-pillar harness connector (2) and insert previously removed terminal (3) into cavity 1 (A) of connector (1) P/N 13589365.

17. Unseat terminal (2) from cavity 2 of the A-pillar harness connector (3).
18. Position connector from kit (1), P/N 13589366, next to current A-pillar harness connector (3) and insert previously removed terminal (2) into cavity 2 (B) of connector (1) P/N 13589366.
