It was like this before the change

After the replacement, it was like this, and the feel was not as good as the original.

Dark effect, the actual effect is better than the picture.

Purchase a three-piece set from the auxiliary factory

Change the start button first

Take 3M glue and stick it directly, and pull it out.

The way it’s taken off

Then change the knob, press the center of the button, and pry open the surrounding rings.

To tear off the black film on the surface, you need to press on the button panel under the black film. Because the wire is connected under the panel, in order to avoid electrically plugging and plugging the connector, there is no power cut and no plug is taken. Be careful to tear the film.

Tear off carefully

Align the cutting head with the hole and stick it.

Install round buckles around.

Then change the gear, first open the armrest box and pry off the front and rear black cover plates.

Remove the four screws that secure the armrest box cover.

Pushing open the central control cover

Changing the gear must be powered off, because the power-off bottle may cause other problems, so the gear must be removed and replaced. First remove the 4 screws that fix the gear.

Remove the gear control line

The gear panel is glued on, heated, and torn off.

Remove the 3 screws on the front

Insert the screwdriver into the hole and turn left to remove the shift button on the left.

Detach the black cover plate

Remove the control line

Prie off the 4 buckles and remove the cover plate

Use the next screw and pull out the gear head

Remove 4 screws and remove the other cover plate

Remove the control cord from the base

Put on a new control line

Restore cover layer by layer

Install the crystal head base

Install the crystal head panel and call it a day.

Finally, because the installation of the control line can easily short circuit and burn the shift module, be sure to turn off the bottle or remove the gear assembly before operating.
The feel and texture of the things in the auxiliary factory are definitely not as good as the original ones, but now the price of the 3-piece set has been greatly reduced, and it is itching not to replace it once.
The handwriting function of the crystal knob panel is normal, but the writing feels astringent and it is easy to collect fingerprints and scratches.
The start button is a little low
The gear feels bad, and it is inconvenient to change the position of the P button, but it looks good at night.
This replacement takes 2 hours, and it is estimated that it can be completed in half an hour by a skilled person.
