CD Changer Disassembly Instructions

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

The CD changer for this car model is located in the trunk, near the left rear corner (driver side), right next to the rear light. Open the cover protecting the CD changer and locate the screws securing the support plate of the changer, then unscrew them. Once the screws are removed, pull the CD changer away from its location just enough to access the connectors and gently disconnect them, taking care not to damage the plastic clips. Once the connectors are disconnected, the disassembly is complete.

How to Change the H7 Headlight Bulb on an Audi A3

When replacing the front headlight bulbs, choosing the right bulbs is certainly the first hurdle to overcome: halogen, blue white light, xenon, or LED. Once you have made your choice, installing the new bulb can be done without removing the headlight. Simply open the front bonnet, locate the protective cap of the bulb holder, and press on the corresponding latch to remove it. Then grasp the bulb's power connector and pull it out along with the bulb itself, disconnect the connector, fit the new bulb, and press it into its seat until it clicks into place.
