Dash in pieces, need to remove factory bmw ipod

svb · Thu, Dec-02-2010, 11:52:29 PM

Thanks to all the info on this board, I was able to carefully and successfully get behind my nav unit to remove the bmw factory ipod connection so that I an install my DICE in the trunk. Unfortunately, now I'm stuck. I removed the black Ipod cable from the module and removed the module. But I'm not sure how to remove the rest of the plug. Its still connected to a small blue connector and a larger black connector. What do I do next?? I want to make sure this is completely disconnected so I can use SIRIUS and IPOD through Dice silverline

the wiring needs to be changed back to stock, took me a little while to figure it out at first and searching on here didnt help at all, then again i just have the normal cd played

I wish I could be more specific tho on how to go back to stock but without looking at it again i cant remember exactly where everything goes but I did just remove the module first and the dice wouldnt work untill the wiring went back to stock

to see if anyone can shed light on this. I'm guessing I need a BMW-specific tool or something.

are you referring to the blue connectors? just hold both ends and pull.
