INTRODUCTION

These installation instructions were produced to give the installation technician all necessary information to properly install the BMW CD Changer behind the left cargo area panel beginning with 2000 MY X5 (E53) vehicles.

These instructions were developed by the Product and Service Engineering Department of BMW of North America, Inc. specifically for BMW vehicles and are not to be compared to any existing products for vehicles other then BMW.
