Replacing the infotainment screen on your Porsche 718 can greatly enhance your driving experience by upgrading to a more modern interface or fixing display issues. While the process requires some care, it’s manageable with the right tools and steps.
Tools You’ll Need

Step-by-Step Replacement Guide
Begin by disconnecting the battery to ensure safety during the replacement. Use plastic trim tools to gently pry around the dashboard panel housing the screen, avoiding any damage to the trim. Once the panel is loose, remove the T20 Torx screws securing the screen in place.
Carefully disconnect the wiring harness attached to the back of the screen. Set the old screen aside and connect the wiring to your new infotainment unit. Reinstall the screws, snap the trim back into place, and reconnect the battery.
