Final stage unit 2006 x5 4.8i
 

Having trouble accessing the final stage unit to replace it. I have removed the side carpeted panel and the bottom passenger foot well panel, can see and touch the FSU but can't figure out how to get to it to remove screws, unplug & replace. All help tips/videos I've found so far don't match up to this car! Here is what I have done so far....

Appreciate any and all help!!

Found this is 3 minutes. Hope it helps.

Found that as well, you cannot remove the glovebox like it says in that post (and the FSU is completely different)...my glovebox sits towards the too of the dash and opens with two flaps so it is basically a "drop-in" as compared to one that folds out in your lap. There is a panel that extends door to door, around/below the steering wheel column, between the radio & console and under the glove box on the passenger side....that's what seems to be in the way and what I can't figure out how to get around. Appreciate the assist though!
