CD Changer Cleaning Instructions

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Car stereo

The CD changer unit on the car model shown in the video (and generally on almost all BMW models) is located in the trunk, on the side: access the trunk, remove the side carpet cover, and locate the CD changer unit; disconnect the connector and remove the screws from the support plate to take the unit out of its place; it is recommended to work on a clean surface, perhaps covered with a white cloth or a sheet of paper to keep track of any parts that may come loose during disassembly; then remove the outer covers and clean the corroded areas, using compressed air to dust off.
