MID Removal

MID Removal
The E39/E53 MID is removed from the center console as follows:
1. Pull the volume knob off the MID.
2. Insert a TI0 torx wrench into the recessed hole beneath the volume knob shaft.
3. Turn the wrench 90° to the left until a stop is felt.
4. While maintaining tension on the wrench in the stopped position, use the torx wrench as a pull handle to pull the left side of the MID out of the center console. The right side of the MID acts as a hinge on the center console.




The radio/tape player is removed by turning the 2.5mm alien head bolts to unlatch it from the center console as on previous radios. The radio alien head bolts are visible once the MID is removed.
