Installation of MEDIUM 5C_21
Fixing of the Device into the Vehicle:
The MQB Cluster is professionally OEM-installed in the instrument panel of the
vehicle behind the steering wheel.
Once fixed; all connectivity to other units must be done via the CAN-bus (see
Electrical Connections section under the Factory Process).
Mounting of the IC
IC will be fixed by clipped by 4 mounting clips of the front frame unit into
the instrument panel of the vehicle. Additionally the device is fixed by 2
screws to the instrument panel. Use torque wrenches to ensure the correct
tightening of all screws.
After the mounting of the IC into instrument panel a corresponding vehicle
bezel is clipped onto the IC front frame. S. Figure 1.
The Factory Process

- Unpack the IC as close as possible to the production line.
