Removal and installation the radio (BMW 5 Series E28)

If your car radio is equipped with an anti-theft system, make sure you have entered the correct code before disconnecting the battery cable. Refer to Section Anti-theft audio system and instrument cluster language before disconnecting the wire.

If after connecting the wire, the inscriptions on your instrument panel appear in a language other than the one you need, refer to Section Anti-theft audio system and instrument cluster language, which describes the procedure for installing the required language.

Removal

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

2. On most models, the radios are held in place by internal clips, usually located on the sides or corners of the face of the unit. Removal requires a special tool that fits into the holes to release the clips and allow the radio to be pulled out. These tools can be made from heavy wire or purchased from a dealer or car audio specialist. On radios with theft deterrent systems, the clips are pushed in and out using internal screws, which requires a different tool. Insert the tool into the holes to release the clips, then pull the radio out of the dash. Disconnect the wiring and remove the radio.

3. On some models, the radio is held in place by screws located under the faceplate. The tuning knobs should be removed before removing the faceplate.

Installation

Install in reverse order.
