The dashboard of Granta or Kalina can be called modern. This can be confirmed not only by its appearance, but also by the use of LEDs, rather than lamps, to highlight readings and indicators. Let's look at how you can change the standard green color of the instrument panel backlight.

Modernization of the dashboard of the Lada Granta car

Car interior Lada Granta Luxury
Lada Granta is the flagship model of the AVTOVAZ production concern. And although only 3 years have passed since the appearance of this car on the market, it has already managed to win the love of most of the population of our country. This happened because when designing this car, the largest domestic automaker finally took into account the opinions of consumers and eliminated most of the shortcomings that existed in previous models.

Compared to the Lada Kalina, created on the same platform, passive safety was improved, the cheapest version featured an airbag in the steering column, and the instrument panel was covered with non-creaking plastic, making it less hazardous to injury. In addition, for the first time in the history of the domestic automotive industry, a domestic car with an automatic transmission (automatic transmission) became available to buyers.

Lada Granta is the kind of car that you want to tune not in order to bring the car to normal condition, but in order to impress other people. Let's consider options for improving the Lada Granta instrument panel.

Features of the front panel of the car

The instrument panel of Lada 2190 is assembled from only 39 parts. This is 13 less than in Lada Kalina. The dominant color of the torpedo as standard is black. The exception is the color scales on the climate control knob, speedometer and tachometer, as well as the green backlight of the on-board computer and audio system monitors. The dashboard in the luxury package looks a little more interesting. The edges of the air vents and center console, as well as the gearshift tunnel and door armrests are finished in chrome on this trim.

The photo above shows the front panel of the Lada Granta Lux.

The center console is not loaded with unnecessary buttons. There are air ducts at the top, with an alarm button located between them. An audio system is installed in the center of the panel, and at the bottom there are additional buttons and control knobs for heating and interior ventilation.

The steering wheel is 3-spoke, injury-proof. The steering column is adjustable in 1 direction in the “standard” and “norm” trim levels and in 2 directions in the case of the “luxury” vehicle assembly.

The instrument cluster of the Lada Granta is quite laconic. On the left is a round tachometer with a green scale and a red arrow. On the right is a round speedometer with an orange needle and a green scale. And between them there is an on-board computer monitor. Indicator lamps are used to display other indicators.

Tuning the instrument panel of Grant and Kalina 2

To change the backlight of the instrument panel of Grants or Kalina 2, you will have to try, the old way (as on the VAZ 2110 or Priora/Kalina) will not work to change the backlight due to the different design of the part. However, if you know how to hold a soldering iron in your hands, tuning the instrument cluster is not a problem.

You will need : disassemble the instrument panel, prepare a soldering iron with a narrow tip and a desoldering pump.

After the instrument cluster board of the Lada Granta or Kalina 2 (they are the same), we check the display. If it turns out to be soldered (soldered legs are visible, not holes), then we desolder it using a desoldering pump so that the display legs (iron soldered antennae) move freely in the seats.

As a result, we have access to all the dashboard LEDs:

• blue - display LEDs
• red - arrow LEDs
• white - scale LEDs
• green - low beam indicator LED
• purple - high beam indicator LED

We replace the necessary LEDs with our own ones of a suitable color and check their operation before assembling the instrument panel; to do this, just connect the board to the cable and turn on the ignition.

When reassembling, the display antennae must fit exactly into the grooves, otherwise they will break and you will have to build them up with copper wire. Before installing the device, it is recommended to glue the panel with anti-squeak.

Before tuning the instrument panel of Grants or Kalinas of the 2nd generation, once again evaluate all the pros and cons. During the modification process, there is a possibility of breaking the instrument panel. In addition, such tuning of the instrument cluster may bring problems with the warranty.

Dashboard of Lada Granta

The convenient location of sensors, speedometer and tachometer on the dashboard provides a simple overview of information on the current state of the car and its speed of movement.

Bright, but not blinding, illumination of elements is important for safe driving at night. That is why the thoughtful design of the torpedo is considered one of the main advantages of modern cars.

The Grant instrument panel, borrowed by the modern model from its predecessor Lada Kalina, meets all these requirements.

Removing the center console of Lada Granta

Many Lada Granta owners sometimes need to remove the central trim on the dashboard. The reasons for this may be different, such as eliminating unnecessary squeaks or installing a radio. Today I will tell you how to dismantle it.

Removing the center console of Lada Granta

Before starting work, I highly recommend purchasing a set of plastic spatulas for working with car plastic to avoid damaging the plastic with rough objects such as a screwdriver.

If such a set is not at hand, or it is not possible to buy it, then wrap the tip of a flat-head screwdriver with strong electrical tape or a roll of adhesive tape.

To properly dismantle the lining you need to perform a number of simple steps:

1. Remove the head unit (car radio) and disconnect all connectors with wires from it. If you cannot remove the radio, you can leave it on the panel, but do not pull sharply when you snap off the cover. Remember, the wires for the radio are not that long.
2. Pry off and dismantle the handles of the air temperature and air distribution regulators using a mounting spatula or a flat-head screwdriver.
3. Remove the handle of the recirculation flap control lever. To remove it, simply pull it towards you.

After removing all the necessary levers, use a plastic spatula or flathead screwdriver to pry the panel off from the lower right edge, as shown in the image below. Next, we unclip all the other latches and remove the trim from the instrument panel, do not forget that the wires are still connected to the instruments.

After disconnecting all the necessary wiring, we can remove the trim completely.

On Luxury cars with a painted trim, removal is identical to the above instructions, with the only exception that the painted part is snapped off first, and the central part is unscrewed.

Installation is performed in the reverse order of removal.

Don’t forget to look at other useful articles on servicing the Lada Granta on our website, as well as take part in the discussion on our forum.

Elements of the dashboard on the Lada Grant

The main elements of the torpedo in Grant are the speedometer and tachometer. The large size of the dial instruments allows you to monitor the current state of transport without being distracted from the driving process.

Includes the Lada Granta dashboard and many emergency and auxiliary sensors indicating the critical level of brake fluid, engine temperature, and oil pressure. Additionally, on-board PC information is displayed on a small screen.

Convenient panel illumination allows you to react in time to any deviations from the norm. Green light is selected for dial gauges, red or orange for emergency sensors.

Lada Granta how to remove the front and rear door trim

Any car owner can dismantle the door panel trim on the Lada Granta model on his own, since this work does not involve any difficulties.

Removing the casing takes little time. The procedure itself can be carried out through several simple steps. For dismantling, you should only arm yourself with screwdrivers: flat-profile and figured. In this article we will describe how to remove the trim on a Grant from the front door and, accordingly, from the rear door.

How to dismantle the casing in Grant yourself?

How to remove the casing correctly and with your own hands? The first step is to disconnect the negative terminal from the power battery of the Lada Grant. This action is not necessary if the stern doors are not equipped with power windows. When dismantling the trim from the front door panel, disconnecting the terminal is a mandatory measure!

To securely fit the casing in its place, you will need to acquire new clips. It is possible that these fasteners may break during the removal procedure.

Next, on the decorative door panel of the Lada Granta, using a flat-profile screwdriver, pry up the plug and remove it. We act carefully to avoid breaking off its fasteners. Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the fixing screw. We perform a similar procedure with a bolt located in a plastic socket.

After this, we switch to the plugs placed in the handle itself

If you carefully remove them, you will have access to two screws that also need to be unscrewed. We recommend placing all fastening elements in suitable containers.

This will allow you to quickly and accurately assemble the unit to its previous state.

The only action left is to unscrew the remaining pair of trim fixing bolts, which are located at the bottom of the door card. To remove the locking button, you will need to perform a simple manipulation - turn it to the left and slowly pull it up. If the car is equipped with a manual drive of the mirror mechanism, then use a screwdriver to pry up the sealing gasket of the mirror hinge lever and remove it.

Based on the photo, it is recommended to first familiarize yourself with the locations of the clips in the Lada Granta. This will reduce the risk of damage and save time on work.

How to remove manual or power windows?

Removing manual mechanisms

In this case, armed with a flat screwdriver, we effortlessly press the mechanism handle lock away from the socket. Next, we move the latch to a position where its protrusion is freed from engagement with the socket. Now remove the socket with the handle.

If the window lift is electric?

The process of removing a panel with an electric mechanism on a LADA Granta is similar to that discussed earlier: the panel is pryed off and dismantled. To eliminate interference caused by the removed panel, it should be placed inside the door card by feeding it through the hole that is the panel seat.

The final stage of dismantling the casing

How to remove the trim carefully? Using a plastic spatula, pry up the casing and carefully remove it from its engagement with the latches. Next we see the switching harnesses with cables

They are necessary to connect door mechanisms:

• window regulator;
• mirror drive;
• loudspeaker, etc. (depending on the configuration version).

We disconnect their connectors.

Upon completion of work, you should make sure that there are no broken clips. If any are present, then we replace them with new analogues. We assemble the casing on the LADA Granta in the reverse order. Now you have become familiar with how to remove the trim on a domestic car on the front door and, accordingly, the rear door.

Do-it-yourself dashboard tuning in Lada Granta

A budget option for improving the appearance of the dashboard is to paint individual elements: the dashboard, air ducts. Typically, all interior plastic and control elements are made in dark gray or black. Refining them will allow you to transform the car and highlight certain parts of the dashboard.

The Lada Granta dashboard, modified in-house, as described below, will perfectly complement the interior style of the domestic car. Work on painting the panel should be carried out according to the following instructions:

1. Remove the shield from the center console.

2. Air ducts and their round frames are removed.

3. The removed elements are cleaned with a degreaser (you can simply clean the surface with a rag soaked in the solution).

4. The shield and air ducts, framing rings are coated with primer. Priming is done twice; before reapplying the composition, you need to make sure the first layer is completely dry.

5. After priming, you can apply paint to the prepared plastic. It is advisable to use a special aerosol can for application: with its help it will be easy to distribute the composition and prevent the appearance of smudges.

6. Once the paint has dried, you can coat the elements with clear varnish.

7. The dried air ducts and shield are installed on the dashboard.

The improved Grant tuning dashboard, which was described above, will look modern and attractive. This method is one of the simplest options for its modification.

Complete painting of the torpedo is a more labor-intensive task and requires removing the steering wheel and all other elements. The complete painting procedure may take 1 or 2 days. According to the specified algorithm, the work is carried out within 6-12 hours, depending on the selected type of primer, paint and varnish.

A more complex, but also more effective method of modifying a torpedo is to install a new backlight. It requires experience in repairing or replacing car electronics and the ability to carefully solder small elements.

Simple and complex tuning of the Lada Granta dashboard, which is not attractive and modern enough, will significantly improve the appearance of the interior. In most cases, the work can be done with your own hands without investing large sums of money. A self-improved car will definitely become a source of pride for its owner.

How to remove the door trim on a Lada Granta with your own hands (video instructions)

Starter fuse for Lada Granta

Replace the lock, repair the window regulator or speakers - in order to do all this you will need to remove the card from the door. Therefore, now we will describe in detail how to remove the trim from the door of a Lada Granta so that your liftback does not suffer from careless and ill-considered actions.

The procedures for removing trim from the front and rear doors of a car are slightly different, but we will tell you in detail about each process so that you can cope with this not very difficult job yourself.

Additional sound insulation may also be a reason to remove the trim from some interior elements, but this is a separate story that requires a special approach.

Step-by-step removal of the front door card

To replace the casing, you will need a set of screwdrivers, but it is worth stocking up on spare clips, which are necessary for fastening the casing.

First, for safety reasons, you need to remove the negative terminal from the battery.

1. Unscrew the door lock button until you can remove it completely.
2. Use a screwdriver to pry up the screw cap that secures the trim to the door.
3. Using a cross-shaped tool, unscrew the screw itself.
4. Do the same procedure with the screw located in the armrest recess, as well as its two screws at the bottom of the card.
5. Pry the top of the handle with a flat tool to remove it.
6. Unscrew the two screws inside the handle that are found under the top trim.
7. Once the trim is no longer attached to the door, you need to start removing it from the lower front edge. To gain access to it, just use a flat tool to pry the edge that fits tightly to the metal of the door.
8. As you remove the upholstery material, you must disconnect the pins holding it. At such moments you should be extremely careful not to damage them. In total, there are 8-9 pistons (clips) on the Lada Granta door, and they are located along the perimeter of the upholstery fabric, but closer to the edges.
9. From the corner, move in both directions at once while removing the card.
10. Remove the lock lock rod from the hole.
11. Disconnect the exposed block with the power window wires by squeezing the locking element. In cars that do not have power windows, remove the lever seal from the handle hinge.
12. Only then can you completely remove the door trim.

Step-by-step removal of the rear door card

The tools are the same, since the very essence of the process is not much different from the previous one.

1. Using a flat tool, press out the window handle retaining element.
2. Move the lock to the side and remove the handle completely.
3. Remove the second part of the handle and the socket.
4. Unscrew the locking element of the lock.
5. Use a flat tool or a metal spatula to pry off the top of the handle. Take it off.
6. Remove the two screws inside the handle.
7. Use a long, flat tool to pry up the trim underneath, pushing it between the metal of the door and the card.
8. During the removal process, snap off the pistons, trying as much as possible not to damage them. There are more clips on the back door than on the front - 10 pieces.
9. That's all, now you can completely remove the trim from the rear door of the Lada Granta.

Installing the casing is slightly different from dismantling it, not only in the sequence of actions, but also in why exactly the old one was removed. Therefore, this issue will be considered separately.

Which LEDs to choose for instrument panel illumination

To highlight the readings in the Granta or Kalina instrument cluster, green SMD-3528 LEDs are used. Instead, you can use SMD LEDs of different brightnesses. Here are the most commonly used:

• very bright SMD 5050 (luminous flux - 15 Lumens);
• bright SMD 3825 (brightness 7-9 Lumens)
• medium brightness SMD 3528 (about 5 Lumens);
• medium brightness SMD 3028 (about 5 Lumens);
• not bright SMD 3020 (about 4 Lumens);
• not bright SMD 3014 (about 3 Lumens).

How to change the color of the instrument cluster illumination

1. Use SMD of the desired color. For example, use white LEDs to illuminate one part of the panel, and blue LEDs for the other.

2. Use a light filter (electrical tape or film of different colors) together with white LEDs. We stick it on the desired area, as a result of which we get the illumination of the desired color. To change the color, you do not need to use a soldering iron, just disassemble the instrument panel and stick a film of a different color.

It is worth noting that the hands have an orange coating. To change the illumination of the hands, wipe off the varnish with nail polish remover and, if necessary, apply a new varnish of a suitable color. Another option is to use LEDs for the arrows of the desired color.

You can change the backlight of the screen (display) not only by replacing its LEDs, but also by turning the film over. First, we tear off the film from the display, clean the remaining adhesive with a solvent and glue the film on the back side. This results in an inversion of the panel display:

3. Use RGB-SMD LEDs. If you want to change the backlight color at once. In this case, you will have to additionally output switching control.

You will need: remove and disassemble the instrument cluster, SMD LEDs (unsoldered from LED strip or LED lamp), soldering iron.

The process of replacing LEDs on the instrument panel board consists of unsoldering the standard SMD LED and soldering a new one in its place. During such tuning, there are several important points to consider:

1. take your time so as not to damage the conductive traces of the board;
2. observe the polarity (SMD LEDs have a bevel on one side, install a new LED in the same position);
3. do not overheat the LEDs; high temperatures may cause them to fail;

After soldering the required LEDs, it is recommended to check the backlight. To connect the instrument cluster at home, you need to apply +12V to pins 19 and 21, and ground to 17. You can also verify that the installed LEDs are working properly using a multimeter in “tester” mode, connecting the probes to the LED according to the polarity (red probe is plus) :

If all LEDs are installed successfully, reassemble in the reverse order. Relighting the instrument cluster of Grants or Kalinas is a great way to make your car more individual and stylish. It is noteworthy that there are a lot of options for implementing such panel tuning, but which style suits you best? Participate in the survey, share video materials and photos of your improvements.

Let us remind you that the website presents other modifications to the instrument panel, for example, you can reflash it and install an outside air temperature sensor.
