is actually pretty easy, remove the top cover where the fairmont has clock. you do this by clipping it up from the very front of the panel

then you remove the side panels so you can get the part out where the tissues are.

the ICC has about 6 8mm head bolts that hold it in, then it just pulls straight back.

IMPORTANT NOTE!

do not tip ICC over or upside down or it will fall apart inside!

if you need further details, let me know & I will type a more detailed explanation

another important thing to mention:

when the ICC comes out, the plugs at the back sort of release. Make sure they are fully released & open before you refit the ICC or they will get broken when you push it back & then you car wont go!!

one question though, why pull out the ICC, the plugs for the mobile phone kit are behind the fuse box!

Are you trying to tell me that if I roll my XR onto it's roof that the ICC will have to be replaced!! Damm

Another case of the AU being better - mine rolled over and nothing fell out - not even the missus

Man just fork out the 120 and let someone else have the grief.

1. remove gear lever surround (not the silver, the grey bit)

2. theres 2 screws to remove the banana shaped arm things on the side, uno em, and pull em off.

3. Take the tissue thing out, theres a screw either side.

4. undo the bolts on the side of the icc.

5. remove the fairmont clock cover, and theres a screw or bolt in there.

As said, DON'T TILT THE ICC :D

If you remove the ICC or even undo the bolts that hold it into place, then something happens to the ICC that requires it to be replaced, you will have voided warrenty on the ICC.

Ford is being very hard on ICC warrenty claims...if they even suspect that you have tampered in any way with the ICC, they void it's warrenty.

Be real careful!

If you are installing a car kit (I assume a mobile phone), why dont you use the genuine Ford phone presenter? That way no extra holes are drilled into the dash.....

I had to laugh, when the BA's were first released, the local auto leccy mob were installing a handsfree kit into a BA, drilled 2 holes in the side of the dash to mount the phone holder, accidentally drilled too far, drilled thru the ICC, 3k later, new ICC!
