Using the same pry tool us it top pop off the large black plastic trim on the left and right side. It uses the same clips as those on the anodized aluminum speaker cover, so don't lift up until all clips are disengaged.

There are four T-20 screws, two at the very front by the tweeter, and one each side in the rear by the windshield...the front two screws will be very easy to remove, but you may need a small ratchet on the T-20 tip to remove the rear two screws.

Using the same pry tool, us it to lift up the speaker from the front to the rear. The front of the speaker will have a wiring harness that plugs into the front LED that may get in the way lifting up the front. On the right side of the speaker is the main harness connector that must be unplugged, but one done, you should be able to lift out the whole speaker assembly.

If pictures are required...willing to post, but only if really required.

[EDIT: If you are going from an H-K center dash speaker to the B&O, you must cut the dashboard...and there is a Youtube video]

Hi can you send me the video?
Thank you so much

Sorry to revive this old thread, I am doing this myself and I am completely new to his forum. I noticed the E201 connector on the B&O speaker has 10 pins allocated in the E201 connector, are you sure the pin 9 & 10 is unused?
My car is equipped with HK system.

Maybe you could check to see if your radio still produces the "Radio_On" signal and you could populate a wire in slot 13.....

Also, this thread is on the F10 M5 forum and you're asking about the F15 X5...so I had to go back to all the previous posts and update to reflect the F15 and not the F10...similar systems, but their connectors references and wiring colors are slightly different....
Hello there and thank you for the info above and it helped me along doing my retrofit

I'm using OEM middle speaker, I was able to connect to pin 13 but the speaker goes up when I unlock the car, and it goes down after 60 second after locking the car, I have the HK on F01 2015 but F10 and F01 use same system as far as I know. is there a way to make it work when the radio turns and shuts down when the radio is off?
Thank you so much!

You have tapped into 30B mate. You need to find 15N. Then it will go up when the ignition is on and close when it's off.

I know this thread is old, but did you ever figure it out with the radio power? I would think there would be away to tap into the iDrive screen turning on or the climate control since they are only live when the car is on.
