I have a F90BT in my car with a totally custom center console. I would like to modify the faceplate of the F90BT so that it matches and blends with the dash.

 

Does anyone know how to (or where to find any instructions regarding how to) remove the shiny black plastic faceplate? I don't mind leaving all the buttons as is. I removed the four small screws that hold the faceplate to the unit and pressed in all of the visible tabs, but the face plate still won't come off.

you can disassemble the faceplate, but you cant really "remove" it and operate it that way. The faceplate is an integral support structure to the buttons and lcd panel.

I highly recommend getting service manual and viewing disassmbly diagrams/instructions.

Not looking to keep the faceplate off the unit permanently - just looking to wrap it with the same material that I'm wrapping the rest of my center console with so that it looks completely OEM. Thanks for the link, I'll give it a shot.
