Navigator Display Disassembly Instructions

Model: BMW X5 E53 - Years 1999-2006
Part: Car stereo

Disassembling the navigator display in the center of the console is extremely simple: the key recommendation is not to dent the edges of the frame surrounding the display, which must be removed to access the screws securing the display itself. Use a plastic pry tool or apply electrical tape to the tip of a flat screwdriver and pry along the edges of the frame to detach it. At this point, unscrew the screws securing the display (two at the bottom center and two at the upper corners), remove it from its housing, and disconnect the rear connectors.
