went to the dealership to get this new recall taken care of. When I got the car back there was a broken clip in the cup holder and the whole radio sits a few cm to the right now and there is a gap on drivers side. Can anyone supply a picture of how it supposed to look? Thanks.

Why the hell did they remove it to replace the blower motor wire? I've removed my blower motor twice and never messed with the center console. Does the blower motor wire actually go into the dash controls? I would have though it just goes to a relay near the fuse panel.
Ugh! I don't want my dash to start squeaking because of a crappy recall repair! Oh, BTW, that broken tab could be from the blower motor housing. I would have them verify their work because a loose blower motor is asking for trouble. Last edited by Thunderguts; 10-15-2019 at 10:49 AM.. |

That broken tab must have been sitting in the lower dash panel that gets removed to do the recall. We would never remove the blower motor, or the radio to do the recall.

This is the ONLY part of the car that is removed to do the recall.
Edit: this is not exactly what the panel in our cars looks like, but gives you the idea. All we do is remove that panel, cut off the connector that is going into the blower motor controller, and splice in a new connector. |

Spoke to the service manager at my local dealer. He said on the 2011s you need to go through radio panels and this panel was apparently put in on 2012-13 models. They are taking the car back in on Friday to take it apart and put it together right and order any parts they broke. Also checked dash cam and they were revving the shit out of it 🤦🏻*♂️

I would have a talk with the service manager. When are idiot techs going to learn that they have a good chance of being recorded when they do stupid shit in customers' cars? |

+1 what did they do and what is revving the shit out of it? Is it part of testing the service? That said is revving a warm motor a little isn't necessarily bad is it? |

Works great for front and rear, but she has an Audi Q5, so rear sight is not as compromised. Nearly invisible from the outside. I use this in my 128i: https://www.amazon.com/Garmin-DriveA...1274661&sr=8-1 I pop it off and take it with me when I travel. Good to have a GPS and dash cam in a rental.

I just had the recall done on my 2011 (5/2010 build date). The service manager said and the paper work shows that only the "short harness" was replaced. Maybe that's the difference between only needing access in the foot well and also needing to get behind the radio.
