The Lada Granta dashboard combination includes a speedometer, tachometer, as well as warning lights and a trip computer display. And in order to remove Grant's instrument panels for some purpose, you only need a flat-head and Phillips screwdriver. First you need to remove the negative terminal of the battery and then continue removing the Lada Granta instrument panel .

Remove the fuse box cover;
We unscrew the 3 fastening screws of the instrument cluster trim;
Remove the lining;
Having gained access to the Granta dashboard mounts, unscrew 4 screws;
We move the tidy and disconnect the clamp of the block with wires;
We remove (dismantle) the Granta instrument panel.

And so I found some free time to describe a little the process of soundproofing my car. Let me remind you that the car was picked up from the dealer and went straight to my bay to install additional equipment. On the way I had to stop by and register it because... the car stood up for a long time and for more than half of the installation period (about 20-25 days in total) could not be driven - they took it apart well.

Along with the installation of the security complex, noise insulation, music installation, a DVR, and various other additions were made, which I will try to describe in the coming posts.

And so noise. It all started with disassembling the interior. They took it apart thoroughly and down to the bare metal. There were no unforeseen situations with disassembling the interior; the car is not complicated in this regard.

With the choice of the sound insulation material itself, everything was simple for us; in St. Petersburg there is such a brand as STP, it is easy to get, convenient to work with, and there is always material available for any task.

I'll start with the trunk lid. There was no need to disassemble it; in the factory configuration there is simply nothing there except a cambric, which is placed on the sharp edge of the metal so as not to cut your hand when closing the trunk. Before soundproofing, the lid is very light, which allows it to rise well when opened with the trunk tarsion bars in the middle position.

How to remove the dashboard for sizing

Recently a guy asked how to remove the dashboard for sizing. I want to share my impressions about this process. Suddenly someone wants to do this too. So here it is. I removed the panel last summer. Also for sizing. I did everything alone. I’ll say this: you can remove/install it alone, but it’s very messy. It's easier with two people, but I don't think it's much easier. Don't believe the repair book, it's much more complicated than it says. Too much will have to be removed in addition to the panel itself: the central trim, air duct tubes, gearbox housing, handbrake housing, floor tunnel, passenger airbag (if equipped), A-pillar trims, tidy. There are a lot of different screws and self-tapping screws, during assembly it is easy to get confused as to which ones were screwed in where. If I'm not mistaken, there are 26 screws alone for securing the panel itself! There are two treacherous screws on the left and right right under the windshield, which you can’t unscrew with a regular screwdriver, you can’t get under them. While the panel is being removed, you are left without glass blowing, and in current weather conditions this is fraught with consequences, including an accident due to fogged windows. If you just park the car. In terms of time: removal took 3 hours, installation took 4 kopecks. The steering wheel gets in the way. The left air duct pipe did not want to fall into place, it rested either on the body or on the windshield, it took me a whole hour just to do this. According to the results: the panel became a little more assembled, but after a WEEK it began to crunch again. In addition to this, the airflow on the windshield has become uneven - it blows weaker in the middle than at the edges. I’m generally silent about the numerous scratches on the dashboard and front door trims. You can remove them with an autogen lighter, but still the appearance is no longer marketable. Summarizing all of the above, from the bottom of my heart I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND doing this. You'll only make it worse. But this is purely my opinion, and then see for yourself. Maybe if you have experience in this matter, it will be easier for you. But I wouldn’t do this again now for any money, there are too many body movements and nuances

Dismantling the console on Kalina

This stage involves removing the Lada Kalina torpedo into its component components.

Remove the ashtray: pull it towards you and unscrew the 4 screws. They keep her in her nest.
Next we get to a pair of plugs, which are located on both sides of the emergency button. They need to be pryed off with the same screwdriver and put aside.
Let's move on to the screws located under the plugs. It is these mounting components that hold the console underneath.
Having unscrewed a couple of screws, we begin to pull the console towards us. We do it slowly in order to avoid a break in the electrical connections.
We disconnect the cable blocks from the sockets of the current collectors, simultaneously marking them.
It's time to unscrew the steering column cover. It is held in place by a pair of size 10 bolts and five screws.
We unscrew the screws (2 pcs.) holding the casing of the panel itself.
The upper section of the panel is held in place by nuts, the number of which should be seven. We “defeat” them.
Removing the stove air duct is problematic. To “surrender” it, we tear off two lock washers, and then unscrew the remaining list of screws. During subsequent installation of this particular small unit, it is enough to use only screws.
We look for all the “hidden” screws around the perimeter and “sentence” them to unconditionally unscrew them.
Only now can you carefully pull the panel towards you. If she “listens” to you, then everything was done correctly. If any obstacles appear, it is not difficult to find the “hidden” fastening element.

How to disassemble the instrument panel of a Lada Granta

Lada Granta is a budget car, which means that the car’s owners are often young people who don’t mind adding some special features to their car. Probably one of the most popular tuning methods in a car interior is changing the dashboard lighting from the standard green to white or red.

Due to the fact that the Granta instrument panel is completely electronic, the illumination is performed not by light bulbs, as was the case before, but by LEDs, which are already soldered on the instrument panel board. To change the backlight, we will need to unsolder the standard LEDs and solder in our own ones, in the color that you like most.

Please note that all manipulations associated with disassembling the instrument panel and interfering with its operation may result in failure of the entire panel. You carry out all work at your own peril and risk!

First, remove the instrument panel from the car, we have already described how to do this in another article on our website, but let us briefly remind you:

Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery;
Remove the fuse box cover to access the lower screw securing the decorative casing;
Unscrew the bottom screw of the decorative casing, two in the visor and, pulling it towards you, remove the decorative trim; for convenience, you can lower the steering wheel all the way down;
Unscrew the four screws securing the instrument panel to the instrument panel and pull slightly towards you to access the connector;
Disconnect the connector by lifting up the locking tab.

Next, prepare a flat screwdriver or special plastic spatulas for working with interior plastic and a regular household fork.

Using a flathead screwdriver or plastic spatula, unclip all latches around the perimeter of the instrument panel. You can insert a plastic card into the spacer to prevent them from snapping back.

After we have removed the cover, remove the arrows using a household fork, turning the arrow as you go and smoothly pulling out its top.

After removing the arrows, you can remove the board from the case by carefully disconnecting the on-board computer screen connector.

Thanks for subscribing!

Here we ask you to pay attention to the fact that on the instrument panels of the first years of production the screen was soldered to the board and to dismantle the board you will need to unsolder the legs of the on-board computer screen. We recommend doing this operation yourself only if you have extensive experience working with microelectronics.

If you did everything correctly, the result of the work will be a similar instrument panel board. In the photo, the locations of the LEDs for illuminating the scales are marked in white, LEDs are in red for illuminating the arrows, and blue LEDs are for illuminating the on-board computer screen.
