Mondeo steering column radio controls - Ant
Hi All

I'm shortly to get a new company car - a mondeo 2.0 Ghia. This is fine with me having had two previously and been quite happy. The only problem is the steering column radio controls that the latest version seems to have sprouted.

I'm quite tall (6 foot 5) and when I've test driven one, my knee is very close to the controls and they are a bit "in the way". Is there any way to unplug the unit without damaging it so I can put it back when I have to give it back to the leasing company? If so, does anyone have a few pointers on how to remove the bloomin' thing?

I wouldn't care, but the standard fit Ford ICE is very well designed with big buttons and knobs and the steering column controls seem to me somewhat superfluous.

Any help greatly appreciated.

cheers

Anthony
