Unplug green (gn), 2-pin MQS plug (arrow) at the rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/2) from plug position 11, open connector and remove lines (green casing is no longer required).
Briefly provide vehicle with power and switch on ignition. Check whether the radio volume can still be adjusted using the multifunction steering wheel. If the volume is no longer adjustable, then the correct CAN plug has been removed. If not, then plug positions 8 through 10 must be checked individually until the plug that controls the volume is found. This green MQS plug must then be opened.
