Hello!

I am trying to install subwoofer and amplifier on my BMW 325i with HiFi audio system.
I searched after some posts and found this.




Now i am wondering how i can remove the "pin" from the orignal Amp.
Is there any special place on the pin wich needs to be pushed in?

Sorry about the crap english

Thanx in advance

I mean connector and not pin

There's a plastic bracket that you have to push up (kind of rotate) from the base (where it's connected on the right side) up toward the wires. It will release itself once you've pushed it that way. A lot of the connectors in our cars use the same locking mechanism.

Just want to verify if this cable colors are right for the HiFi audio system.
blue/yellow & blue/green = right rear speaker
yellow/red & yellow/brown = Right Left speaker

Again, I'm at work, I can't verify this right now. BUT, I can tell you that once you get the connector off, the pin numbers are labeled --so you should be able to tell easily which wire/pin is which.

Sorry, my earlier post was wrong... you have to rotate the opposite direction --from the wired side down toward the base to release the connector. See the attached image:
