Removal Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Saturn Ion Red Line, 2004 Saturn Ion 3, 2004 Saturn Ion 2, and 2004 Saturn Ion 1. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove the rear shelf trim. Refer to Trim Panel Replacement - Rear Window Shelf (Early Production) or Trim Panel Replacement - Rear Window Shelf (Late Production) in Interior Trim.
- Remove the interface module from the bracket by pulling back on the bracket tabs.
- Disconnect the electrical harnesses and the antenna cable.
IMPORTANT:
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) has a specific set of unique numbers that tie the module to each vehicle. These numbers, the 10-digit station identification and the 11-digit electronic serial number, are used by the National Cellular Network and OnStar® to identify the specific vehicle. Because these numbers are tied to the vehicle identification number of the vehicle, you must never exchange these parts with those of another vehicle.
