Pre-Installation Notes & Tips
During the steps, if a specific attachment for the Dremel Tool was used I will explain its description the best I can
and/or supply photos. I borrowed a friends Dremel tool so I am not sure of the proper naming of the exact cutting and
sanding attachments. Looking at the photos, studying the installation instructions and using your best judgment will
guide you. For specific questions or problems, just post them on the forum and I will try to answer.
Store all related parts, screws, etc. in separate Zip Lock bags. Another good idea (one I should have done) is to label the
bags.
Setup one playlist on the iPod before starting installation.
My car does not have the access opening from the trunk to the back seat; however, 5 series cars with access are not
affected in a major way.
