I don't want to risk it and mess something up. 1995 318ti | | | 05-05-2006, 03:50 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: cary, nc Posts: 2,259 | remove black cupholders (i think two screws that hold the black part in.) the grey part is taken out by removing two screws in the back of the console...one in the back ashtray and one in the grey compartment where the cupholders. there is one big screw that holds the grey console down under the hazard button. note: its grey in my car...may be different in yours i dunno...if you need more help just ask __________________ 1995 318ti Active Pioneer Speakers [] Aluminum Billet door locks [] ACS Pedals/Deadrest [] ACS Shift Knob / E-Brake Handle [] Clear Corners/Tails/Sides [] Sylvania Exterior Lighting [] Custom CAI [] Dinan Engine Chip [] Dinan Transmission Chip [] H&R Race Springs [] Tokico Illumina Shocks [] BMW X-Brace [] Relocated Lighter Mod [] Custom iPod Mod http://www.cardomain.com/id/robcarync | | | 05-05-2006, 05:57 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Berkeley, CA Posts: 411 | Thank you so much!!

It is just those two spring loaded tabs holding the head unit in the bracket. push the tabs up and it slides out ... easy! if this isnt your cd player, then im not sure off the top of my head, but i imagine it is similar __________________ 1995 318ti Active Pioneer Speakers [] Aluminum Billet door locks [] ACS Pedals/Deadrest [] ACS Shift Knob / E-Brake Handle [] Clear Corners/Tails/Sides [] Sylvania Exterior Lighting [] Custom CAI [] Dinan Engine Chip [] Dinan Transmission Chip [] H&R Race Springs [] Tokico Illumina Shocks [] BMW X-Brace [] Relocated Lighter Mod [] Custom iPod Mod http://www.cardomain.com/id/robcarync | | | 05-05-2006, 10:05 AM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Berkeley, CA Posts: 411 | I'm sure it is. I'll look at it in the morning. That's the same iPod set-up I'm about to do, except all black. I like the short mount. __________________ I'm back with a different 95 ti | | | 05-07-2006, 12:04 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: London Posts: 120 | How do you get to the screw underneath the hazard button? | | | 05-07-2006, 06:07 PM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Berkeley, CA Posts: 411 | Remove the shifter boot, reach under and push up on the hazard switch. all the switches pop right out. __________________ I'm back with a different 95 ti | | | 05-07-2006, 06:08 PM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Berkeley, CA Posts: 411 | Oh yeah, I got it out but having trouble reseatting the stereo.
