Spanglish Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I'm trying to remove the centre console on my 2015 Mk IV Focus. I'm new to Fords after a long time with VAG. There doesn't seem to be any info on Youtube or around the forum on trim removal. Anyone know how to do it? What I'm trying to do is run the USB cable behind the dash and have it come out closer to the phone cradle which is just below the air vent on the passenger side (Left hand drive) and I want to remove this panel to tuck the cable in behind the panels. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Andy_M Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 1. This is not a Focus MK4 (IV). There is not an MK4 focus yet. 2. Should be fairly easy with some gentle prising with some plastic removal tools. My belief is there are a series of lugs you need to lift the plastic out of if any of the older Fords are anything to go by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanglish Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 Quote 1. This is not a Focus MK4 (IV). There is not an Cringe.. Sorry, I assumed the pre facelift was a different MK. I've edited the title. Thank you for taking the time to reply. I think you're right but I'm scared to break it. Anyone else know for certain?

zed550 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I hope I understand what you'd like to achieve here. First of all, I'd use the USB from the armrest, leading it through the designated cut-out under the armrest top itself and then move the cable straight down and then tuck behind the middle console where it meets the carpet. - hope this makes sense. This is exactly the method I used for my dashcam to receive power with the only difference that I needed to take it towards the A pillar..

Spanglish Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 Thanks Zed. I hadn't thought of that. Good idea. Are you saying you didn't remove any trim, you just tucked it into an overlap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanglish Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Avi, Spot on! Couldn't find that video. That's perfect. I was worried I'd snap the trim if I puller it but that's pretty clear. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always a little bit of play between the panels/carpet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
