how to remove a radio?

[jimn]

I have a 325xiT, brand new, and I want to install the BMW auxilliary input adapter on my standard (not H-K) audio system. The first instruction is "remove the radio", but I don't have a clue how. There aren't any obvious clues on the front panel. Can anyone illuminate? Thanks!

pop off the wood trim on both sides of radio and you will see the screws

i was checking it out when they were doing my ipod install, and since i haven't done it myself, i'm not 100% sure. but it might be an ok start.

start off with the wood/or whatever trim from the passenger side. the tool the dealership used looked like a miniture fork w/ just 2 prongs. (be gentle or you'll damage the trim.)

to get the center storage off, you'll have to find the screw holding it in place. it is screwed in at a 45 degree angle, so you'll have ot partially close the storage door, and find it. it is right behind the hinge iirc. (use a philips head)

i can't look up the info for you right now, but you might be able to find a ipod diy faqs that describes the process. (you might need to dig around, but if you find it, share the wealth well good luck w/ hte install guys.
