How to remove seat back??

bobbywang · #1 05-07-2006, 11:05 PM

Just bought a Vizualogic headrest DVD system and want to try to install it myself. Trying to find out how to remove the seat back. I read the description listed in this thread:

http://www.xoutpost.com/stereo-system...light=headrest

But I couldn't find the "cross-hair" screws mentioned. I have the Sport package (06 3.0i) so I have the Sports seat and perhaps this is somewhat different. Does anyone have any experience on how to remove the seat back on a sport seat?

Thanks all!!!

Mind didn't have screws when I removed them, I had two plastic plugs in the bottom corners.
They are a very tight fit and I couldn't get them out without snapping the heads off.
You can get replacement plugs from your local dealer.

Hope this helps.

Really? Hmmm...so once you remove the plugs, was it easy to remove the back? Thanks for your help!

Bobby,

which Vizualogic headrest DVD system did you purchase???

I bought the A-1000 (w/ the single built-in DVD player). Since I'm leasing the X5, this will make it easier for me to remove when my lease term is up and since I don't need to worry about the source, the installation should be easier (just need to tap the +12V power from the center console). But having some difficult time trying to remove the seat back to pull the cable through...

OK...just received my Vizualogic A-1000 Headrests. I'm eager to install them but have absolutely no ideas on how to remove the seat back. Can anyone help with this???

Thanks!
