Just about to change the clocks in the wifes 08 galaxy to a converse+ set up.
Just wondering if anyone knows a quick way to do it...
I know the older mk2 was fairly sraight forward but a quick look at this mk3 seems to suggest half the dash needs to come apart as there seem to be a lot of hidden fixings and the trim panel to the bottom of the speedo covering the 2 fixings holding the lower section of the speedo in place doesnt seem to just unclip as the mk3s used ..
After searching the net I can still only find removal diagrams for the older mk2.. in some cases they are listed as mk3 but definately arent.

yeah, just worked it out for myself, pretty easy if I am honest.
Does involve the side trim on the centre console being removed and the entire panel below the column and the trim to the rh side.
