removing rear panel

[swingkat420]

how do you remove the rear panel in the boot? I'm trying to find the phone connection and it's not in the compartment where the NAV is, so I'm thinking it's tuck away in that panel.

Yes...it is there..unless you have an older X5 that is not prewired...

When you say the NAV compartment, you meant the area by the CD changer (left side of trunk), right?

what year x5?

Yes where the CD changer is. It's an '02, the wiring should be there cause I opened up the center console and the plug is there for the phone.

It should be in that bundle of wires, under the black plastic support tray. Remove the 3 10mm hex bolts and you'll find a bundle of wires. It's tucked in there.
