Titanium kidney grilles & rear shade...

Just bought a couple of accessories for my X5. Can anyone tell me how to remove the kidney grilles? Thank you in advance.

They just unclip and you pull them outwards. look at the clips on your new ones to see where they are and how they work. Should take no more than 5 minutes per side.

Fastbuck,

Thank you. Yes, it took about 5 minutes per side and you are right. Here are a few pictures that I just took with the old and new grilles, and the rear shades.

from the inside of the hood, there are 2 clips on the left and right side, press them in and push grille outwards towards ya, they will pop right out.

Can I ask you how you secured the dvd player on the back seat, I have the same player and have trip to go on next week and was trying to figure out what you just did!

Thanks

Kaify,

I got my X5 back in Feb. of this year. At the time that I ordered my X5, the dealer could not order the rear roller manual shades due to factory issues. Therefore, I could not get that rear roller manual shades. The one that I just bought, looks very good too. It helps to keep the rear cabin cooler for my son in the back seat.

Jon,

My portable LCD dvd player came with the headrest mounting hardware. See pictures below.

Stevev,

I had the same DVD about a month ago, It vibrated so much during travel I had to remove it. It was difficult even watching a DVD on the road. I returned it and am looking for something else. Does yours vibrate? There is no bottom clip to hold the screen when flipped over so it just rattles, jiggles and vibrated over every bump and even on smooth pavement.

The box that I recieved from Morrisontown BMW is pretty big. It was around 8 lbs.

No, I do not have any problem with our Panasonic dvd so far. My son loves it.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems my headrest on the passenger seat vibrates which in turn makes the DVD player vibrate. Even my wife noticed it and she is usually in a trance while I am driving. The other thing I noticed about that DVD (LS82 correct?) is if you turn off the vehicle and then turn it on again the DVD starts again from the beginning. It won't resume from the last postion or is there a setting you can adjust?
