Removing Glove Box?

Post by Yo Russ Dude » Sat Jul 23, 2011 12:57 pm

Hi

Just fitting an OEM Ipod Kit and routing the Ipod connector through to the Glove Box (As per Instructions).

I just cant seem to find out how to remove it. :headbang:

I have taken out Two Screws Left and Right and One Screw (Hidden Right at the bottom) on the right.

Its hanging out but still can't get it out (Ohh errr Missus) :rofl:

Any Ideas anyone?

From memory you need to disconnect the little strut/damper and access the screw from behind there as well.

Cheers

In the end I decided to route the ipod cable differently (through a gap already in the glove box lid).

However when all was connected I found that the BMW Kit does'nt support Ipod Touch model. Guess I will have to either rip it all out and get a kit tha does or get a old style Ipod :x

And to top it all my air bag light has now come on :headbang:

The joys of motoring eh!
