Had bought a bluemusic device off another forum member and installed it in my coupe today.
I tried to lift just the panels in the boot and wedge them with blocks, but just couldn’t get the space I needed. Ended up stripping all the panels and carpets in the boot. Having done it now, I’d imagine it would only take minutes to do it again, but was very straightforward.

Once you know how it’s attached, it’s simples taking it apart again.
I did find a torx screw, a pencil and some unused cable ties all under the carpets. Makes me wonder what was going on when the iPod kit was installed!!
