Replace key slot

Anyone know of a video that would show me how to replace the key slot for a 2014 r57?

I do not.
However, I recently found a video and threads regarding the step-by-step process for removing the entire dashboard for an R57. You might find those a little quicker. I'll see if I can find them as well.

Check out this video to get an idea of what you're in for. The key slot falls out around the 6:15 mark.


Good luck! My only advice is take PLENTY of pictures at you take everything apart.

I was able to get it off and swapped out the key slot but now the key is stuck in new slot. From everything ive read on it it should be plug n play.

Kromerok,

While searching for your issue I stumbled upon this link that shows step-by-step how to replace the key slot. Hopefully I didn't steer you wrong with the previous video.

https://www.pelicanparts.com/techart...eplacement.htm

After the directions you will find comments, and it seems like your issue is not unique. I would suggest posting your issue there.
