Instructions for Removing the Car Radio

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Car stereo

To remove the navigation display, you first need to have the proper extraction keys; start by removing the trim pieces from the center dashboard area using a plastic tool; then unscrew the screws securing the center air vents and pull them away from their housing. At this point, insert the extraction keys right under the two knobs of the navigation system, press them all the way in to release the locking tabs, and extract the navigation unit: before disconnecting the plugs, ensure you have any activation codes.
