Don't lose this!) and release the three clips on the PCB retainer in the head unit (page 134 Fig. 6.4 - {{: |
| * Remove the button membrane which may contain lots of dirt buildup. Remove the 4 plastic light pipes from the membrane, wipe them clean and set them safely aside. They are keyed in two directions, both which side of the membrane they sit on (square vs round) and orientation (teardrop shape) so you cannot re-insert them wrong without it fighting you. | * Remove the button membrane which may contain lots of dirt buildup.

| * Use warm, soapy water and a disposable cloth and toothbrush to gently clean the button membrane. Take care to not rub off the symbols, and do not scrub the black pads on the back as these are conductive contacts. This is safe to submerge. Rinse and ensure dried (don't use the hairdryer here, but pat and shake dry and leave to the side for a while). Make sure you did not miss any water in the light pipe holes or between the buttons. You can replace the light pipes once dry. | * Use warm, soapy water and a disposable cloth and toothbrush to gently clean the button membrane.

| * The grille on the front of the radio is 99% for show with only a small hole for the mic itself. You can scrub this gently using a toothbrush and some kind of spray, though make sure you did remove the mic and separate away the PCB in the previous step. An anti-bac probably won't go deep enough. I used 99.9% IPA successfully but this is not advised as it can be harsh, but is very effective at removing grime. | * The grille on the front of the radio is 99% for show with only a small hole for the mic itself.
