Fitting our Fob Filter unit is a simple process, requiring only the removal of one trim panel. This is a quick job that should take 15-20 minutes. The battery does not need disconnecting from the vehicle, but the load space will need clearing to allow the rear seats to fold down. The receiver is located under the right hand side trim panel (drivers side in a RHD vehicle), so space around this area is useful to work in.
Your remote fob and receiver should be functioning properly before undertaking fitting this filter. If the remote fob is not working and you are unable to get it to do so, there is another issue that needs investigating first. |
A couple of tools are required to remove the trim panel:
Lift the panel starting from the rear seat end. It will need to be levered upwards with moderate force - there are three metal clips along the window edge that the panel should release itself from.
These metal clips often become detached from the bodywork - this is not a problem, though try to prevent them falling down into the cavity. They will need to be pushed back onto the bodywork before the panel is refitted. |
Set the panel to one side - you should now be able to see the receiver on top of a metal framework, it is the small black box nearest the rear seats.
Position the Fob Filter unit on the inside of the supporting diagonal metalwork, and secure it in place with a cable tie.
