Default C6 Pod removal

I am expecting my AO console and pod trim kit in the next couple of days. I have found threads on how to remove the console, but none on the pods. Anyone have a link or instructions? Pics would be great! Thanks!

I just swapped mine a few weeks ago. Look at the new pods when you get them, they just snap in. You have to use your hands to gently pull them out starting at the bottom. Then you get a mess of switches/buttons to change over. Not hard but time consuming

Thanks, my biggest question is for things like the dimmer switch that protrudes from it. When you unclip the pod, does that come off too?

The dimmer switch is attatched to the pod ina recepticale and help in with barbs on the dimmer.
I used two little screw drivers to insert into the slots to release the barbs that hold it into the pod.


The process: I popped the pod out. Unscrewed the button pads. Popped out the starter button and mic/air sensor. Then used the screwdrivers to help get the dimmer out.

Install is a reverse of that.
