MID Removal unsuccessful
 
2002 X5 3.0 W/ Business CD player

Ok ladies and gentlemen any help would be appreciated. Having MID Pixel problem. Removed volume knob found torx location turned about 75 degrees felt MID move a little, tried to rotate out no luck. Now when I look into torx location I no longer see torx head just a elbow shaped piece of metal with a round hole. Any suggestions would be great.
Thank you in advance for any help.

all you have to do is turn that torx or elbow shape to your left and about 1/4 of the turn =25 degrees not 75 degrees.

:iagree: YES

I did not use a torx but a hex key. My torx screwdriver bit was too short. Hex key worked just fine.

Possibly why it did not come out, if you can feel it turn a quarter of a turn and lock, the latch is released then you can pull it out while holding the torx in the locked position....

Hopefully this helps

you need a 'T15' Torx driver

1/4 turn = 90 degrees, not 25 degrees. Turn the screw appox. 1/4 turn counterclockwise. Pry the midi out with a credit card. Slide the credit card into the crevice on the left side of the MIDI and it will come right out.
