Description
PEUGEOT 407 on-board display and navigation frame
Color HXN- – BLACK PEARL
Part description
This NAVI display frame is designed as a dashboard filler for the Peugeot 407 car. It serves to cleanly and firmly seat the dashboard display/navigation and at the same time completes the look of the interior. Thanks to the original design from PSA/Stellantis, it blends well with the surrounding parts of the dashboard and is suitable for repairing a damaged frame (cracks, broken handles, abrasions) or when replacing it with a piece in the right shade.
The shade HXN – black pearl is important for coordination with other parts of the interior.

Installation recommendations
Generally/typically for replacing the bezel (dashboard panel) the exact steps may vary depending on the trim level and the type of display/navigation fitted.
1) Before assembly
- Compare the new part with the old one: shape, attachment, number and position of latches/screws, possibly holes for controls or grommets.
- Check codes (96838140XN, 96846404XA, 8265GH) and HXN shade to match interior.
- Check that there are no broken mounts, cracks or deformations that would prevent seating.
2) Necessary tools and materials (in general)
- Set of plastic pry bars for dismantling interior parts
- Screwdrivers / bits according to the fasteners used
- Clean cloth, gentle plastic cleaner
- Or small pliers to loosen the connectors (depending on the situation)
3) Step-by-step assembly procedure
- Turn off the ignition and, for work safety, disconnect the battery (minimize the risk of a short circuit when handling the dashboard).
- Prepare the space: cover the surrounding surfaces with a soft cloth so as not to scratch the decor.
- Using a plastic pry bar, carefully loosen the surrounding caps/slats that may prevent the frame from being removed.
- Locate and remove any frame mounting screws (if used).
- Gradually click the frame out of the latches – don’t pull on one corner, proceed evenly around the perimeter.
- If the frame is related to the display area, remove it in such a way as to not stress the wiring and connectors behind the display.
- Clean the seating surfaces and check the dashboard for any broken clips.
- First place the new frame “dry” and check that it fits and nothing prevents it from sitting.
- Snap the frame into all the handles one by one (again evenly around the perimeter).
- Reinstall the screws (if any) and return the surrounding moldings/caps to their original position.
- Connect the battery and perform a basic function check of the related elements (display/navigation if disassembly has been tampered with in any way).
-
4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
- Check that the frame is firmly held, does not come off anywhere and does not squeak when pushed.
- Verify fit with surrounding dashboard parts and that there are no gaps.
- When driving over bumps, listen for any squeals – they often indicate an unsnapped clip.
5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them
- Prying with a metal tool → use plastic pry bars, you will reduce the risk of scratches.
- Non-alignment of the contact surfaces (remains of clip, dirt) → clean and check fit before assembly.
- Shade/decor swap → look for the HXN marking and comparison with the original piece.
- Plastic embrittlement due to age and temperature changes in the interior.
- Incompetent disassembly (prying without loosening latches/screws) leading to cracks and broken handles.
- Mechanical damage when installing audio/navigation or hitting the dashboard.
- Surface wear (scratches, flaking) due to frequent contact and cleaning with inappropriate means.
