I did that on my LS400 (I'm vraa :)) and I was wondering, if there was anything similair to that for the X5.

Even if it's half decent, I can add on to it. Or maybe if someone had the ETK instructions because my ETK isn't working.

Those aren't the best though, I can't really tell where the screws are and how stuff comes off.

Do the speaker guards just snap off?

Tomorrow I'll see if I can get some Torx screw drivers.
I was able to unveal all the screws that the carstereohelp site showed.

The only issue that I might run into is the side airbag.

Also, I'll post much higher quaity photos when I do it. :)

Ricky, it seems that you are posting info that I think has been posted before. Have you searched?

The 6" is glued to the spacer and you will have to score the join to get them seperated. It's a bit of work but doable.

I tried to search, but I just found a lot of information on the subwoofer itself, and only the subwoofer. I checked all the articles related to the stereo system, and none of them showed step by step pictures.

I found out that the grill is indeed glued. The tabs are melted at the factory in order to keep them out.

I don't need to take them out directly, now that I know how to remove the door panel. Now I am in search of Torx 10 screw driver to remove the screws.

I got the fronts off easily.
I can't get the rears off.
I have the rear sun shade, and I can't seem to get the screw driver inside the top of the unit to pop it off to reveal the last screw.

Man I'm afraid I'm going to break something!

Ricky, are you just talking strictly about taking the door panel off?

Yeah, I got the vertical sun shade off and unscrewed the screw that was holding the door panel, and yet I was not able to get the rear door panel off.

My fingers are all cut up and bleeding.

My LS400 was so much easier :( :D

Anyways, I got the stock DSP subwoofer sounding a lot deeper in my gazillion hours of work.
