Instructions for Removing Climate Control Switches

Model: BMW X5 E53 - Years 1999-2006
Part: A/C controls

Removing the climate control display is very simple: just locate the position of the retaining clips and press them with a small screwdriver to release the controls; the same applies to the radio control display. In both cases, it is sufficient to detach from one side only. For the radio, the clip is located beneath the volume control knob: remove the knob by pulling it forward and locate the hole inside the knob's housing; insert a small screwdriver and press to release the clip. For the climate control display, the clip is located on the left edge, in the center.
